Instructions
1
Pound each chicken breast to an even 3/4-inch thickness using a meat mallet or rolling pin. Combine the flour with salt and pepper in a shallow dish. Dredge each breast in the seasoned flour, shaking off excess.
1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts
¼ cup all-purpose flour
½ tsp salt and pepper (each)
2
Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once foaming, add the chicken and cook 3 to 5 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Sprinkle lemon pepper seasoning directly into the pan while cooking. Transfer chicken to a plate.
Sear chicken
2 tbsp butter
1 tsp lemon pepper seasoning
3
In the same skillet, add the asparagus pieces and sauté until tender-crisp and bright green, about 3 minutes. Remove and set aside. Lay lemon slices flat in the pan and cook for a couple of minutes on each side without moving them, allowing them to caramelize.
