Ingredients
- 4 large chicken breasts halved (or 4 small chicken breasts)
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1 lemon sliced
- thyme optional
Instructions
- Flatten chicken breasts out using a meat tenderizer to about 1/4 inch thick. Place flour, salt, pepper, and garlic powder in a large ziplock bag. Shake to mix. Add chicken breasts and shake once more to coat chicken.
- Melt butter in a large heavy-duty pan on medium-high heat. Add floured chicken breasts and cook for 3-4 minutes per side or until lightly browned. The butter will begin to foam then settle down. [br
- Remove chicken from the pan and add the lemon slices and thyme to pan. Cook lemon slices for 1 about 1 minute per side. Return chicken to pan and top with the cooked lemons.
- Serve with a rice, veggies, or salad.

Notes
- Use a meat tenderizer to flatten the chicken. This ensures even cooking and a more tender result. Place the chicken between plastic wrap to avoid mess.
- When coating the chicken in the flour mixture, make sure to shake off excess flour. This prevents a thick, clumpy coating and ensures a crispy texture.
- Use thin lemon slices. Thinner slices cook quickly and infuse the dish with a citrusy kick without overpowering.
