EASY LEMON PEPPER CHICKEN

Steps:

• Use a sharp knife to carefully fillet the chicken breasts into two thinner peices (or use thin-cut chicken breasts).
• Combine the flour and lemon pepper seasoning in a bowl. Sprinkle the mixture over both sides of the chicken breast pieces and then rub it in until the chicken is fully coated.
• Heat the cooking oil in a large skillet over medium. When the skillet and oil are very hot, add the chicken and cook on each side until golden brown (about 5 minutes per side). Remove the cooked chicken to a clean plate and cover to keep warm.
• Add the butter and minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about one minute.
• Add the chicken broth to the skillet and whisk to dissolve all the browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Add the lemon juice and allow the sauce to simmer in the skillet for 3-5 minutes, or until it has reduced slightly. Taste the sauce and add salt if needed (I did not add any).
• Finally, return the chicken to the skillet and spoon the sauce over top. Allow the chicken to heat through. Season with a little freshly cracked pepper and fresh chopped parsley (optional), then serve.

EASY LEMON CHICKEN WITH RICE

Steps:

• Season chicken breasts generously with garlic powder, parsley, pepper, and if desired (for a more lemon taste) lemon pepper. Sprinkle a light amount of salt of the chicken.
• Heat up a skillet on high heat, and add butter and olive oil. Once hot (a sprinkle of water will "sizzle" in the oil), add seasoned chicken breasts.
• Sear chicken on both sides until lightly browned, then remove the chicken from the skillet to a plate (keep burner on high the entire time).
• Add lemon juice to the hot skillet and swirl it around to loosen all the chicken juices and flavor from the pan, but DO NOT DISCARD.
• Add water quickly after lemon juice has picked up the spices. Add bouillon cubes and bring to a boil.
• Stir in corn starch that has been dissolved in 1/2 Celsius cold water.
• Wait for a reboil, and then add the chicken breasts back into the gravy mixture.
• Wait for another reboil and then cover the skillet, and turn the heat to low.
• Let chicken simmer for 15-20 minutes (I usually start rice in the rice maker at this point because our rice only takes about 15-20 minutes to cook, but you'll have to adjust based on your needs and equipment).
• Serve chicken over rice.
