Lemon Pepper Chicken
This Lemon Pepper Chicken is an easy, flavorful recipe that is perfect served with seasoned rice.
It has bright flavors from the lemon and fresh thyme, but the pan sauce overall has a decadent feel.
I would either buy the thin cut chicken breasts, or if you have regular cut chicken simply cut them in half lengthwise to make them thinner.
Everything you need is shown below, I pretty much had everything except the chicken and lemon.
You can use any lemon pepper seasoning, but the Lemon Pepper seasoning at Savory Spice is amazing!
Savory Spice has lots of seasonings, sauces, plus many gift options đŸ™‚
How to Make Lemon Pepper Chicken
First, put some flour in a bowl along with lemon pepper seasoning, Italian seasoning, kosher salt, and pepper.
Then set a large skillet over medium heat and add some olive oil.
Coat each thin cut chicken breast in the flour and place them in the skillet with the hot olive oil.
They will cook 3 to 4 minutes per side.
Once the chicken is cooked, remove them to make the pan sauce.
I just put my chicken on a plate and kept it close by to add back into the skillet once the sauce was finished.
So the same skillet is still over medium heat, and you’ll add some butter and garlic to start.
After the garlic cooks for about a minute add in a cup of chicken broth, lemon juice, and fresh thyme.
Cook the pan sauce for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring a few times.
You’ll notice it will slowly reduce and thicken slightly.
Add the chicken back into the skillet and spoon the sauce over top.
Serve Lemon Pepper Chicken with the pan sauce drizzled over top.
I also served this with more fresh thyme and lemon wedges.
At the same time the chicken was cooking I made a packet of seasoned rice to serve along with the chicken.
