How To Make lemon pepper chicken
-
Step 1In a shallow, wide bowl, combine the flour, lemon pepper seasoning, and salt. Dredge the chicken breasts in the flour mixture.
-
Step 2Melt the butter and heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the breaded chicken breasts and cook until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken, place it on an ovenproof plate, and put it in the oven uncovered on warm while you finish the rest of the dish.
-
Step 3If there are not 2 Tbsp of fat left in the skillet, add equal amounts of butter and olive oil to make up the difference and melt it over medium-low heat. Add the garlic and cook for a minute, stirring frequently.
-
Step 4Add the chicken broth and lemon juice and stir to get the brown bits off the bottom of the skillet. Simmer and reduce the sauce for a few minutes. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
-
Step 5Add the chicken back to the skillet and warm for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh lemon slices and chopped fresh parsley.
