A homemade version of lemon pepper chicken made without store-bought lemon pepper seasoning. It tastes incredible - fresh, fragrant with lovely pops of heat from the pepper. No marinating time required. Great for pork and seafood too! RECIPE VIDEO BELOW.

Ingredients

4 servings

2 chicken breasts ((~250 - 300g / 8 - 10oz each))
2 lemons ((Note 1))
1 tbsp olive oil
3 tbsp flour
1/2 - 3/4 tsp salt
2 1/2 tsp cracked black pepper ((adjust to taste) (Note 2))
1/2 tsp garlic powder ((or sub with onion powder) (Note 3))
1 tbsp olive oil
Fresh parsley (, for garnish)

Instructions

Cut the chicken in half horizontally to make 2 steaks. Optional: pound to make them even thickness around 1cm / 2/5" thick (I do this).
Zest the lemons to make 1 1/2 - 2 tbsp lemon zest. Avoid grating too much of the white part - it's bitter.
Place zest into bowl with 1 tbsp olive oil and mix to combine. Add chicken and use your hands to slather oil mixture onto chicken.
Mix flour, salt, pepper and garlic powder in a shallow bowl.
Dip chicken into flour mixture, shaking to remove excess.
Heat oil in a skillet over medium high heat. Cook chicken for 2 minutes on each side, or until golden.
Optional: Slice zested lemon and cook the slices, like pictured.
Serve chicken, garnished with fresh parsley if using.
