Easy Pan-Fried Lemon Chicken

Ingredients:

• 1 chicken breast
• Juice and zest of 1 lemon
• 1-2 teaspoons olive oil 
• 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
• 1/8 teaspoon black pepper

Directions:

1. In a plastic ziploc bag, combine the chicken breast, lemon juice, olive oil, salt and pepper. Press the air out of the bag and seal.
2. Use a meat pounder or rolling pin to flatten the chicken breast into one even thickness. I have also used an empty Nalgene bottle for the same purpose when I didn’t have a meat pounder. Improvise. Be a MacGuyver.
3. Let the chicken marinate for at 30 minutes for best results but you can cook it right away if needed.
4. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add more of your fat of choice, such as coconut oil.
5. Cook the chicken for 4-5 minutes per side or until completely cooked through.
6. Let the meat rest for at least 5 minutes before slicing.
