Components:

Four skinless, boneless chicken thighs or breasts

Two tablespoons of lemon zest

1/4 cup of freshly squeezed lemon juice

Two tablespoons of black pepper, freshly ground

One teaspoon of powdered garlic

One teaspoon of powdered onion

One teaspoon of salt

One teaspoon of optional dried oregano

Two teaspoons of olive oil

Two tablespoons of butter without salt

For a juicier version, you can add 1/2 cup of chicken broth.

One tablespoon of freshly chopped parsley for garnish

Slices of lemon as a garnish

Parts:

Four boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs


Two tablespoons of zest from lemons

1/4 cup of lemon juice, just squeezed

Two tablespoons of freshly ground black pepper

One teaspoon of garlic powder

One teaspoon of onion powder

A single pinch of salt

One teaspoon of dried oregano, if desired

Two olive oil tablespoons

Two teaspoons of unsalted butter

You can add half a cup of chicken broth for a more juicy version.

For garnish, add one tablespoon of finely chopped parsley.

Lemon slices as a garnish


Cook the chicken in step two.


Add the butter and olive oil to a large skillet that has been heated to medium heat.

When the skillet is heated and the butter has melted, add the chicken breasts.

To achieve a lovely golden-brown crust, cook them for 5 to 6 minutes on one side without moving them too much.

After turning the chicken over, grill it for a further five to six minutes, or until it is cooked through. A temperature of 165°F (75°C) should be reached within.

Add the chicken broth to the skillet and boil for two to three minutes if the chicken seems very dry. This will keep the chicken moist and improve the flavor.

Step 3: Include the Taste of Lemon

After lowering the heat to low, drizzle the chicken with the freshly squeezed lemon juice.

Let it cook for one more minute so the citrusy flavor may seep into the chicken.

Step 4: Present and Garnish

Before slicing, take the chicken out of the skillet and allow it to rest for five minutes.

Add slices of lemon and fresh parsley as garnish.

Warm up and serve with a fresh salad, mashed potatoes, or roasted veggies.


The Best Lemon Pepper Chicken Recipes:


Use Fresh Ingredients:
When compared to bottled equivalents, fresh lemon juice and zest provide the greatest flavor.

Modify the spice level:
Use less black pepper if you like a softer taste.

For added flavor, marinate the chicken for half an hour before cooking with the spice and lemon juice, if time permits.

Make it Crispy: Before pan-searing, lightly dust the chicken with flour if you like a crispy feel.
