Lemon Pepper Pan Fried Chicken is great on salads, on the side of potatoes, rice or pasta. This chicken is flavorful and super juicy. This chicken is done in 10 minutes.
When time is short and I want something fast I usually pan fry a piece of chicken. You can put any seasonings you like. I tend to season the chicken to match the sides I am making. Try some of our homemade seasonings.
