A homemade version of lemon pepper chicken made without store-bought lemon pepper seasoning. It tastes incredible - fresh, fragrant with lovely pops of heat from the pepper. No marinating time required. Great for pork and seafood too! RECIPE VIDEO BELOW.
View original recipe on recipetineats.comCut 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.
