This easy lemon-pepper chicken recipe coats boneless skinless chicken breasts in zesty lemon-pepper seasoning and finishes them with a savory garlic and lemon pan sauce.

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon lemon pepper seasoning
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1/2 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley
• 1/2 teaspoon coarsely ground pepper

Directions

1. In a shallow dish, combine flour, lemon pepper and salt. Coat chicken in flour mixture; shake off excess.
2. In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Cook chicken until browned, and internal temperature reaches 165°, 5-6 minutes. Remove from pan; keep warm.
3. Add butter and garlic to the same skillet; cook one minute longer. Whisk in chicken broth and lemon juice; bring to a simmer. Cook until sauce has slightly thickened, 5-6 minutes.
4. Return chicken back to skillet; spoon sauce over chicken. Cook until heated through, 1-2 minutes. Sprinkle with parsley and pepper.
