Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 10 minutes
Total Time 15 minutes
Servings: 4 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp lemon pepper seasoning
  • 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts thinly sliced
  • 2 tbsp butter

Equipment

  • Large Skillet
  • Shallow Dish
  • Tongs or spatula

Method
 

  1. In a shallow dish, combine the all-purpose flour and lemon pepper seasoning and mix until evenly blended.
  2. Pat the thinly sliced chicken breasts dry with paper towels, then dredge each piece in the seasoned flour, pressing lightly to coat both sides and shaking off excess.
  3. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and melt the 2 tablespoons of butter until foaming.
  4. Place the coated chicken slices in the skillet in a single layer (cook in batches if needed). Cook until golden and cooked through, about 3–4 minutes per side.
  5. Repeat with remaining chicken, adding more butter if necessary, then transfer cooked chicken to a plate and serve.

Notes

  • Use thin slices for quicker, even cooking.
  • Pat chicken dry before dredging for a better coating.
  • Cook in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
