Skillet Lemon Chicken Breasts image

This was created after I had to go on a low-fat diet due to gallstones. Cooked on a cast iron skillet, the flavors really mix well and the chicken is very tasty. I can't wait until summer to try it on the BBQ and using it on skewered kabobs.

Time 20m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 6

olive oil cooking spray
1 lemon, quartered
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
¼ teaspoon dried cilantro, or to taste
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper, or to taste
¼ teaspoon onion salt, or to taste

Steps:

  • Spray a large cast iron skillet with cooking spray and heat over low heat.
  • Poke a fork into each chicken breast about 5 times and place in the hot skillet. Squeeze 1 lemon quarter onto each chicken breast, leaving a little juice in each quarter. Sprinkle each breast with some cilantro, onion salt, and pepper; cook until golden brown, about 7 minutes. Flip, poke holes and repeat the seasoning process again. Cook until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 5 to 7 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my chicken turned out dry and tough. The lemon sauce was also very bland.

This recipe is a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. The lemon sauce is so flavorful that it helps to mask the taste of the vegetables.

This dish was a bit too lemony for my taste. I think I would use less lemon juice next time.

I followed the recipe exactly and the chicken turned out dry and bland. The lemon sauce was also very thin and watery.
