Equipment
- Skillet
- Chef's Knife
- Mixing Bowl
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp Lemon Pepper Seasoning
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tbsp butter
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients. In a shallow dish, combine the all-purpose flour and Lemon Pepper Seasoning. Mix well to ensure the seasoning is evenly distributed throughout the flour.
- Next, take the boneless, skinless chicken breasts and make sure they are thoroughly damp. This moisture will help the seasoned flour adhere better to the chicken.
- Carefully coat each piece of chicken in the seasoned flour mixture, making sure every side is covered. This step adds a wonderful texture to the chicken once cooked.
- Now, heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Allow it to melt and bubble slightly, which indicates it's hot enough for cooking.
- Once the butter is sizzling, place the coated chicken breasts into the skillet. Be careful not to overcrowd the pan; you want each piece to have enough space to cook evenly.
- Cook the chicken for about 3 to 4 minutes on one side. You’ll notice it will start to turn a lovely golden brown, which is a sign it's time to flip.
- After flipping, cook the other side for another 3 to 4 minutes. Keep an eye on the color and ensure both sides are cooked through and golden.
- Continue this process until all the chicken is cooked. If necessary, you can add more butter to the skillet for flavor and to prevent sticking.
- Once done, remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a minute before serving. This helps keep it juicy.
- Serve your Lemon Pepper Chicken warm and enjoy the delicious flavors!
