Lemon Chicken

This is a very simple and delicious dinner.  It only uses a few ingredients but at the same time looks pretty impressive.

Lemon Chicken

Ingredients:
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon lemon-pepper seasoning
4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
1 package (9 oz) hollandaise sauce mix (and ingredients to prepare)
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 tablespoons butter

Directions:
In a large resealable bag, combine flour and lemon-pepper. Flatten chicken to 1/2-inch thickness. Add chicken one piece at a time, and shake to coat.

In a skillet, saute chicken in 2 tablespoons butter for 5-6 minutes on each side or until chicken is cooked through (it will take longer depending on thickness).  Meanwhile, prepare sauce according to package directions. Stir in lemon juice.  Serve chicken with some lemon sauce drizzled on top.

Notes:
--As you can tell I cut my chicken breasts into strips. You can use any cut of chicken, but smaller pieces cook faster.
--As I typed up this recipe I thought about how some garlic powder would be a yummy addition to the flour mixture. I think I’ll try that next time.
