Lemon Pepper Chicken Recipe

Recipe By The Spruce Eats

Lemon pepper chicken is an easy-to-make weeknight dish that doesn't skimp on flavor. The lemon pepper seasoning flavors the chicken while sliced lemons and parsley add a freshness, making it a healthy and attractive main dish. The pan-seared chicken breasts are an excellent meal when served on a bed of rice, buttered angel hair pasta, or with seasoned roasted potatoes. Add a vegetable side dish or tossed salad for a satisfying everyday meal or special occasion dinner. For even faster preparation, use thin, quick-cooking chicken breast cutlets and skip the baking step. If you want to char the lemons a bit for another dimension of flavor, slide the pan of chicken topped with slices under a preheated broiler for a few minutes.
