Lemon Herb Chicken
Lemon herb chicken is simple, with few ingredients and steps involved. This makes it an accessible choice for novice cooks, busy weeknight dinners, or when you want a satisfying meal without too much fuss!
Ingredients
- 2 large chicken breasts
- ¼ cup salted butter (divided)
- ¼ cup flour
- ¼ cup lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon minced onion
- 1 large lemon (sliced)
Instructions
- Cut each chicken breast in half horizontally and pat each piece dry with a paper towel.
- Dip each chicken breast in the flour, ensuring the entire surface is lightly coated.
- Melt half of the butter in a medium sized pan. Once the butter is completely melted, add the chicken and cook for about 5 minutes per side, or until cooked all the way through.
- Add the spices, lemon juice, and remaining butter. Continue cooking the chicken for 3-4 minutes, allowing the meat to absorb the lemon juice.
- Reduce the heat to low and add the lemon slices. Allow the chicken to cook for 4 more minutes.
- Serve and enjoy!
Notes
- The lemon slices are optional, but they add a little extra lemon flavor to the chicken and an aesthetic look to the dish.
- Coating the chicken in flour helps give the chicken a beautiful golden brown color and gives it a little crispy for extra texture!
- Fresh herbs provide a better flavor than dried ones so try to use fresh.
- Serve with roasted or steamed vegetables like asparagus, green beans, or bell peppers to complement the lemon herb flavors.
