Equipment

  • Skillet

Ingredients
  

  • 2 breasts boneless skinless chicken about 1.3 lbs. total
  • 2 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon lemon pepper seasoning
  • 1 tablespoon cooking oil
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • ½ cup chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley optional
  • teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper

Instructions
 

  • Use a sharp knife to carefully fillet the chicken breasts into two thinner pieces (or use thin-cut chicken breasts).
  • Combine the flour and lemon pepper seasoning in a bowl. Sprinkle the mixture over both sides of the chicken breast pieces and then rub it in until the chicken is fully coated.
  • Heat the cooking oil in a large skillet over medium. When the skillet and oil are very hot, add the chicken and cook on each side until golden brown (about 5 minutes per side). Remove the cooked chicken to a clean plate and cover to keep warm.
  • Add the butter and minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about one minute.
