Step 1
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).
Step 2
Zest the lemons to make 1 1/2 - 2 tbsp lemon zest. Avoid grating too much of the white part - it's bitter.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
Mix flour, salt, pepper and garlic powder in a shallow bowl.
Step 5
Dip chicken into flour mixture, shaking to remove excess.
Step 6
Heat oil in a skillet over medium high heat. Cook chicken for 2 minutes on each side, or until golden.
Step 7
Optional: Slice zested lemon and cook the slices, like pictured.
Step 8
Serve chicken, garnished with fresh parsley if using.
