Step 1

Season the chicken with 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1/4 teaspoon of pepper and 1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder. Then, dredge the seasoned chicken pieces in flour and shake off any excess.

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Once it's hot, carefully place the chicken breasts in the skillet and cook them until they're golden brown, about four to five minutes per side. Set the chicken on a plate and keep it warm.

Step 3

In the same pan, add the butter, chicken broth, lemon juice and zest, and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Simmer for two to three minutes. Place the chicken back in the skillet and continue cooking for another two to three minutes or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F. If desired, sprinkle the chicken with chopped parsley and thyme and serve it with lemon slices.
