I made this lemon garlic chicken for dinner when all I had was chicken breasts and a lemon — it was so quick to make, flavorful, and delicious that I make it regularly now!

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 3 skinless , boneless chicken breast halves
  • 1.5 teaspoons salt or to taste
  • 1.5 teaspoons ground black pepper or to taste
  • 2 tablespoons garlic powder , divided
  • 1 lemon , juiced

Instructions

  1. 1

    Gather all ingredients.

  2. 2

    Melt butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Season chicken with salt and pepper; place in melted butter. Cook chicken, flipping frequently, until browned, about 5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Sprinkle 1 tablespoon garlic powder over chicken; cook for 2 minutes. Flip and sprinkle remaining 1 tablespoon garlic powder on the second side; cook for 2 minutes.

  4. 4

    Pour lemon juice over each side of chicken and cook until no longer pink in the center, 5 to 10 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

  5. 5

    Enjoy!
