Lemon Butter Chicken Breasts

Lemon Butter Chicken Breasts

6 medium-sized boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
Salt to taste
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 tsp lemon pepper seasoning
5 Tbsp butter
2 lemons, sliced
2 Tbsp lemon juice

Place each chicken breast between 2 sheets of plastic wrap (or parchment paper) and pound until about 1/4-inch thick.  Remove plastic wrap and season each breast with salt and lemon pepper.  Coat both sides with flour.

Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and melt the butter in it.  Cook the chicken breasts in the butter until browned on both sides, 6-8 minutes total.  Remove the chicken from the skillet and keep warm.

Add the lemon slices to the skillet and cook until they begin to brown, 2-3 minutes turning once.  Return the chicken to the skillet and drizzle with the lemon juice.  Cook 2-3 minutes more until the chicken is completely cooked and hot through.

Very good chicken!  And fast!  I served this with Fettuccine with Lemon Cream and it was really delicious!
