Equipment

  • Large Skillet
  • Shallow Dish
  • Tongs or spatula

Ingredients
  

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

Instructions
 

  • In a shallow dish, combine the all-purpose flour and lemon pepper seasoning and mix until evenly blended.
  • Pat the chicken slices lightly with a paper towel if wet, then dredge them in the seasoned flour to coat evenly.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat and melt the 2 tablespoons of butter.
  • Add the coated chicken slices to the skillet in a single layer (work in batches if needed) and cook until golden and cooked through, about 3–4 minutes per side.
  • Continue cooking remaining chicken, adding more butter if necessary, then remove from the skillet and serve.

Notes

  • Thin slices cook quickly and evenly.
  • Work in batches if your skillet is crowded.
  • Add more butter as needed to prevent sticking.
