Total Time 35minutes minutes
Servings 4

Ingredients

2 large chicken breasts
¼ cup salted butter divided
¼ cup flour
¼ cup lemon juice
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1 teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon minced onion
1 large lemon sliced

Instructions

Cut each chicken breast in half horizontally and pat each piece dry with a paper towel.
Dip each chicken breast in the flour, ensuring the entire surface is lightly coated.
Melt half of the butter in a medium sized pan. Once the butter is completely melted, add the chicken and cook for about 5 minutes per side, or until cooked all the way through.
Add the spices, lemon juice, and remaining butter. Continue cooking the chicken for 3-4 minutes, allowing the meat to absorb the lemon juice.
Reduce the heat to low and add the lemon slices. Allow the chicken to cook for 4 more minutes.
Serve and enjoy!

Notes
The lemon slices are optional, but they add a little extra lemon flavor to the chicken and an aesthetic look to the dish.
Coating the chicken in flour helps give the chicken a beautiful golden brown color and gives it a little crispy for extra texture!
Fresh herbs provide a better flavor than dried ones so try to use fresh.
Serve with roasted or steamed vegetables like asparagus, green beans, or bell peppers to complement the lemon herb flavors.
