LEMON PEPPER CHICKEN | The Easiest 15-Minute Dinner Recipe!

Weeknight dinners just got even easier with this lemon pepper chicken. Chicken breasts are coated in a bright and tangy lemon pepper seasoning, seared until golden, and then topped with a drizzle of the best lemony garlic butter sauce.

I always say that simple is best, and that's definitely the case with this lemon pepper chicken. I'm a busy gal, so when I want to get a tasty meal on the table fast, this is my go-to recipe. And in terms of flavor, it's almost a cross-between my Greek lemon chicken and chicken piccata, but unique in its own way. So it's quick, easy, healthy, and tasty - what's there not to love?!

I feel like I should do a 15-min dinner series. Whatcha guys think? xo - Lisa

[clarkkent]

Yes! I would love to see more 15 min dinners. More simpler ingredients that fool proof.

Also I love that you added sides. I would like to see you prepare them as well in the video

[quziperson]

Lisa, youtube put you on the woman day foodie fans! I am so happy for you!

[SharonHahn-xd]

Yes, I would love a 15 min dinner series

[alanaltshuld]

Thanks for another great recipe, Lisa! I’m going to make this for dinner tomorrow night. I, too, grew up having a protein, a vegetable, and a starch on the plate.

[joancook]

YES! YES! PLEASE 15 min. Dinners thank you.

This looks so easy and delicious. I also understand that lemon is good for anti-inflammatory, so definitely making this.

[etamommy]

We just tried this for tonight's dinner. Really good! Served it with basic white rice. The sauce is very tasty and I poured some over my rice too! Thanks!

Love this recipe! My families favorite! Yes to 15 minute recipes

Made this last night, It was sooo good and quick! THANK YOU! So much better than just using lemon pepper and cooking it!

[khakisohn]

Me and my partner just moved as well! Its our first house together and we wanted to impress his family by trying a new recipe. This looks super easy to make and it fits into my step dad's diet restrictions! Thank you so much for sharing this, I hope your move was a fast and easy process ❤🙏

I would add to that pan tip, purchase quality pans to begin with as well. Lovely and delicious video once again. Love your channel.

[noahventura]

Omg thank you so much, the way my chicken gets dark after I throw it back in the pan is amazing, it tasted even better when I put a more expensive butter (from vital farms ) and air chilled chicken

[ritak]

Okay, the Greek lemon and chicken piccata are my families fav from your recipes! This will be on the menu this week! So very excited!

[keilanimaka]

Just made this! Very easy to prep and cook! I only had like chicken strips and it worked just as well. A bit lemony for me and I didn’t add the zest so I might cut back just a lil juice

[naveerakhan]

Just made this and it was irresistibly flavourful!

I added portabella mushrooms to the dish, and decided I wanted a thicker sauce to drizzle at the end so I stirred in some leftover greek yoghurt. It was delicious!

[TheGlamorousLifeofNae]

Love lemon chicken!!! 💖 Thank you so much for this recipe!! 🥰

[HeartyHealthBites]

This is a wonderful recipe that puts a light spin on breading the crust. I will try it out and try not to forget the zest.

[rigpod]

I hope your move goes well! Thanks for still doing videos for us even without all of your usual cooking supplies!

Beautiful! I think I am going to try this recipe with lime. My husband is not a big fan of lemon, but he loves lime.
