This is a very easy recipe that I taught my boys to make when they first started cooking on their own.

Ingredients of
Lemon Chicken

  • Butter
  • 1/2 Lemon
  • 2 Boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • Lemon pepper seasoning
  • Flour

How to Make
Lemon Chicken

  1. On a cutting board either pound the chicken thin with a meat mallet or cut them horizontally so they are half their normal thickness. Place them on a large dinner plate and sprinkle each side evenly with lemon pepper seasoning. 
  2. Fill a small bowl 1/4 of the way with flour. Dip the seasoned cutlets in the flour and place on the dinner plate.
  3. Place 1-2 tablespoons of butter in the frying pan and turn the large burner on medium or slightly higher. Once the butter is melted and bubbling, place the chicken in the pan, cover and fry for 2 minutes. 
  4.  Turn the chicken over and squeeze lemon juice over the chicken. Cover and fry for 2 minutes. 
  5.  Turn chicken over and squeeze lemon juice over the chicken. Cover and take chicken off the burner for 30 seconds. Remove the chicken from the pan and place on a clean dinner plate.
  6. If you have a meat thermometer, the chicken is done at 165 degrees F.

Notes

I like slice up the other half of the lemon and fry each side for about one minute then use it as a garnish.
