Step 1

Cut the chicken: Slice the chicken breasts in half horizontally.

Step 2

Mix the seasoning: In a small mixing bowl, stir together the flour, lemon pepper seasoning, and salt.

Step 3

Season the chicken: Sprinkle the seasoning evenly over both sides of the chicken, pressing it in with your hands.

Step 4

Cook the chicken: Heat the oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and sear for 3 to 4 minutes on one side, then flip over and cook another 3 to 4 minutes (until an instant-read thermometer reaches 160 to 165°F). Remove to a plate.

Step 5

Make the sauce: Add the butter to the pan, and saute the garlic in the butter for about 30 seconds. Add the chicken broth and lemon juice, and reduce the sauce for a minute or two.

Step 6

Finish and serve: Add the chicken back to the pan, and spoon the sauce on top. Garnish with lemon zest, and if you'd like, chopped parsley and lemon slices.
