I love thin cut chicken. It cooks up fast and you can do a lot with it. This Lemon Pepper Chicken is very flavorful yet doesn’t use a lot of ingredients. Lemons are the perfect flavor for summer because it makes everything taste fresh and light. The lemon butter sauce gives the chicken an extra juicy pop and the lemon pepper seasoning is perfect with chicken.
If you love lemon in your cooking, you should look at my Lemon Zucchini Bread and my Lemon Roasted Asparagus!
