Lemon Butter Chicken
Ingredients
Method
-
Preheat oven to 180C/350F.
-
Pound the chicken breasts with a meat tenderizer until they are the same thickness. This also tenderizes the chicken.
-
In a bowl or container add the flour, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper.
-
Take each breast and coat with flour, making sure it's completely covered and shaking off any excess flour.
-
Heat a little olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Place the breasts in the pan and brown on both sides. Transfer the chicken breasts to a baking dish.
-
To the same pan, over medium low heat adds the butter. When the butter melts, add the garlic, cook for 1 minute then add the lemon slices and juice.
-
-
Cook for 3 minutes, flipping the lemon slices in the pan. Season with a little salt and pepper.
-
Remove from heat and pour over the chicken in the baking dish.
-
Bake in preheated oven for about 15 to 20 minutes depending on the size and thickness of the chicken breasts.
-
Remove from oven and garnish with fresh parsley and lemon slices.
-
Serve immediately with your favourite veggies or a crispy salad for a lighter meal.

Enjoy! 😊
