Super Simple Ingredients
Shall we count the short, sweet list for this Lemon Chicken together? 👏 CHICKEN 👏 ASPARAGUS 👏 FRESH LEMONS 👏 FLOUR 👏 LEMON PEPPER And a little bit of butter, and a little bit of salt, but you already have those things I bet, so I’m counting those as freebies.

The Easiest Grocery List
It’s no secret that I love really simple recipes cheers and applause and one of my favorite things is making a recipe that doesn’t require a massive trip to the grocery store for 80 million ingredients. Or should I say massive multiple trips to the grocery store – because without fail, I will go for asparagus and lemons, and come back with peanut butter, oatmeal, almond milk, spinach, a few frozen dinners, chocolate chips, bananas, and yogurt, and I’m putting the groceries away and it’s so great to have all these yummy foods in my house and what will I make with the chocolate chi… OMG I did not get the lemons and asparagus. WHAT and WHY. This is my life. But when the ingredient list can be managed on one hand – even I can handle that. So yes, this recipe technically has more than 5 ingredients, but the only ones you need to pay attention to are chicken, lemons, asparagus, and a lemon pepper seasoning because let me guess –> you probably already have butter, flour, and salt, you well-stocked pantry person, you.
Grab Your Pan and Let’s Make Lemon Chicken
Now get ready because this is so beautifully and awesomely easy.
Coat the chicken. (It gives the chicken that extra something so you get some lemon pepper flavor and the chicken absorbs a little more of the pan sauce.)
Sauté everything in this cast iron skillet (affiliate link). Easy.
Serve! The end.
Let’s Chat Lemon Butter Sauce
A beautiful lemony buttery sauce that YOU MADE! Lemons, butter, a sprinkle of lemon pepper seasoning, and a honey drizzle if you want. It’s going to go right on top of those perfectly pan-crisped chicken breasts – or chicken thighs if you want – and bring this dish together. I’m serious THAT’S ALL. Put a little piece of whole wheat bread, brown rice, or quinoa on that plate if you want a carb buddy, and dig the heck into that fresh, bright, healthy dinner. Yummy-roo for you.
