Lemon pepper chicken is juicy and loaded with flavor. It's high in protein and low in fat and calories, and ready to serve in less than 30 minutes. Make it in the oven, stovetop or on the grill!
Brush chicken with olive oil on both sides and sprinkle both sides with lemon pepper to coat.
Place chicken in baking/casserole dish and bake 20 minutes (30 for larger breasts) until internal temperature reaches 165℉.
Allow chicken to rest 10 minutes before serving or slicing. Chicken will continue to bake and allowing it to rest seals the juices in. Slice, serve and enjoy!
Preheat grill to medium and brush grate with oil to prevent chicken from sticking.
Brush the chicken breasts all over with olive oil and sprinkle the seasoning on each side.
Place breasts on the grill and grill 5-7 minutes on each side, closing the lid. Internal temperature should reach 165° Fahrenheit.
Transfer to a platter or baking sheet, cover with foil and allow the chicken to rest before serving.
Stovetop
Preheat cast iron skillet to medium-high and add 2 tablespoons oil to prevent chicken from sticking.
Brush the chicken breasts all over with olive oil and sprinkle the seasoning on each side.
Add chicken to skillet. Brown on one side 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium and flip chicken. Cook until internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit, about 10 minutes for smaller chicken breasts and 15 for larger chicken breasts.
Let the chicken rest before slicing and serving.
