This Quick and Easy Lemon Chicken Recipe requires only a handful of pantry ingredients, but don't let the simplicity fool you — it's outrageously delicious!
Place chicken breasts in a gallon-size resealable plastic bag. Add lemon juice, olive oil, lemon pepper, basil, oregano, and salt to the bag. Shake the bag gently to ensure the chicken is evenly coated with the marinade.
Marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes, or up to 8 hours for deeper flavor.
Heat a heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Remove chicken from the marinade and place in the hot skillet. Discard leftover marinade.
Cook chicken for 6 to 7 minutes on each side, flipping once halfway through.
Continue cooking until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
Serve hot. Optionally, garnish with freshly chopped parsley and lemon slices.
