Ingredients
- 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)
Steps
-
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.
