Elevate your weeknight dinner with zesty lemon chicken topped with crunchy pistachios. Ready in just 25 minutes with 6 simple ingredients. Enjoy with rice, salad or roasted veggies.
Ingredients:
  • 8 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (2 1/2 pounds)
  • 1 teaspoon lemon pepper
  • 3 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon grated lemon peel
  • 1/4 cup chopped toasted pistachio nuts, if desired
  • Lemon slice, if desired
Instructions:
  • Gently pound each chicken breast half to 1/4-inch thickness between sheets of plastic wrap or waxed paper, then generously season both sides with zesty lemon pepper.
  • In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken with lemon juice and lemon peel for 15 to 20 minutes, flipping the chicken once and stirring the juice mixture occasionally, until the chicken is no longer pink in the center.
  • Plate the chicken, garnishing it with a drizzle of the juice mixture, sprinkled nuts, and thinly sliced lemon.
