Ingredients
- 2 large chicken breasts, sliced in half horizontally to create four thinner portions (or use 4 smaller breasts and pound the thickest part down to an even thickness)
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
- 1½ teaspoons sea salt
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- ⅓ cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- chopped fresh parsley, for garnish
- 1 Lemon, thinly sliced
Instructions
- In a low, wide bowl, stir together flour, Italian seasoning, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
- Add each chicken piece to the flour mixture, turning to ensure an even coating.
- Heat olive oil and 1 tablespoon of the butter over medium to medium-high heat in a large skillet.
- Add flour-coated chicken pieces to the skillet and cook until the exteriors are golden brown on both sides and the chicken is cooked through. This usually takes about 5 minutes per side, but will depend on the size and thickness of your chicken pieces.
- A few minutes before the chicken is done cooking, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter.
- Once the chicken is done cooking, remove it from the skillet and set it aside.
- In the same skillet, add chicken broth, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet for extra flavor. Let simmer for a few minutes into a slightly thickened lemon pepper sauce.
- Return cooked chicken pieces to the skillet and spoon the lemon pepper sauce over each piece. Sprinkle with chopped parsley and tuck in the lemon slices around the chicken.
- Serve the lemon pepper chicken hot, drizzling any remaining sauce over the top.
