Description

A quick and delightful chicken dish with zesty lemon and aromatic garlic.


Ingredients

  • 4 chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons lemon pepper seasoning
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish


Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Coat the chicken breasts evenly with lemon pepper seasoning.
  3. Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat.
  4. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  5. Sear the seasoned chicken breasts in the skillet for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  6. Transfer the chicken to a baking dish and pour the garlic butter sauce over the top.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and juices run clear.
