Directions
- Start by placing your chicken breast between two pieces of plastic wrap or parchment paper. Using a meat mallet or rolling pin, gently pound the chicken to an even thickness, about 1 inch.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the salt, garlic powder, onion powder, crushed red pepper flakes, and ground black pepper. Rub the chicken with the 1 teaspoon of olive oil, then coat it evenly with the seasoning mixture.
- In another bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs and freshly grated lemon zest. Make sure the zest is evenly distributed throughout the breadcrumbs.
- Dredge the seasoned chicken in the panko mixture, pressing gently to ensure the breadcrumbs adhere well.
- In a large frying pan, heat the 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the coated chicken. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the pan and squeeze fresh lemon juice over the top.
Notes
- For extra flavor, consider adding fresh herbs like parsley or basil.
- Serve with seasonal vegetables for a colorful plate.
- This dish can be made gluten-free by using gluten-free panko breadcrumbs.
