Easy Pan-Fried Lemon Chicken Recipe

Step 1

In a large plastic ziptop bag, combine the chicken breast, lemon zest & juice, olive oil, salt and pepper. Press the air out of the bag and seal.

Step 2

Use a meat pounder or rolling pin to flatten the chicken breast into one even thickness.

Step 3

Let the chicken marinate for at 30 minutes for best results but you can cook it right away if needed.

Step 4

Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add more of your fat of choice, such as coconut oil.

Step 5

Cook the chicken for 4-5 minutes per side or until completely cooked through.

Step 6

Let the meat rest for at least 5 minutes before slicing.
