Oven baked breaded chicken breast is cooked in a tangy lemon garlic butter sauce. This easy 25-minute one-skillet chicken recipe is flavorful, juicy and perfect for a quick weeknight dinner.
Par dry chicken breasts on both sides. Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
Put flour in a shallow dish. Dredge chicken in flour until evenly coated.
Heat an oven-proof skillet over medium heat. Drizzle some oil in the hot skillet. Once oil is hot, Cook chicken breasts for ~1-2 minutes on each side, or until browning occurs. Avoid overcrowding chicken and cook in two batches if needed. Remove chicken from skillet once browned. Chicken doesn't have to be fully cooked at this point.
Lower heat to medium low. Add butter and allow to melt. Once butter melts, add garlic, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Stir.
Return chicken beasts to skillet and place in the oven.
Bake for 7-10 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165℉. Check at the 5-7 minute mark and remove from heat immediately if they are done to prevent overcooking.
Spoon lemon butter over chicken.
Let chicken rest for a few minutes, then serve and enjoy!
