Print this Recipe

PREP: 5 MIN * COOK: 20 MIN * 4 SERVINGS


   4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (about 1 1/4 pounds)
   1 teaspoon lemon pepper seasoning
   1 tablespoon vegetable oil
   3 tablespoons lemon juice
   1 teaspoon grated lemon peel
   1/4 cup chopped pistachio nuts, toasted*
   Lemon slices


Flatten each chicken breast half to 1/4-inch thickness between sheets of plastic wrap or waxed paper. Sprinkle both sides of chicken with lemon pepper.

Heat oil in 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken, lemon juice and lemon peel in oil 10 to 15 minutes, turning chicken once and stirring juice mixture occasionally, until juice of chicken is no longer pink when centers of thickest pieces are cut. Serve chicken topped with any remaining pan juices, nuts and lemon slices.

*To toast nuts, bake uncovered in ungreased shallow pan in 350° oven about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown. Or cook in ungreased heavy skillet over medium-low heat 5 to 7 minutes, stirring frequently until browning begins, then stirring constantly until golden brown.

Betty's Tip
Hot cooked rice and cooked baby-cut carrots or broccoli are the perfect accompaniments for this lemony nutty chicken.
