How to Make Quick and Easy Lemon Chicken | The Stay At Home Chef

Place 4 chicken breasts into a gallon sized ziploc bag.

Add the juice from 2 lemons (about 1/2 cup) into the bag.

Pour in 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil.

Add 2 teaspoons of lemon pepper, 1 teaspoon of oregano, 1 teaspoon of basil, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt.

Seal the bag and shake it until all ingredients are evenly dispersed.

Marinate the chicken in the fridge for at least 30 minutes or up to 8 hours.

Heat a heavy skillet over medium-high heat.

Remove the chicken from the marinade and place it directly into the skillet, discarding the remaining marinade.

Cook the chicken for about 6-7 minutes per side, flipping once.

Ensure the chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
