I made this lemon garlic chicken randomly and it was delicious.
Ingredients

- skinless, boneless chicken breast halves: 3 piece
- ½ teaspoons salt: 1 piece
- ½ teaspoons ground black pepper: 1 piece
- garlic powder: 2 Tbsp (divided)
- lemon: 1 piece (juiced)

Stages of cooking
-
Melt butter in a skillet over medium-high heat.
-
Season chicken with salt and pepper; place in melted butter. Cook chicken, flipping frequently, until browned, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon garlic powder over chicken; cook for 2 minutes. Flip and sprinkle remaining 1 tablespoon garlic powder on the second side; cook for 2 minutes.
-
Pour lemon juice over each side of chicken and cook until no longer pink in the center, 5 to 10 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
