Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large chicken breasts (about 8 oz each, halved lengthwise)
  • 1/2 tablespoon lemon pepper seasoning

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2–3 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 tablespoon gluten-free flour

Instructions

  1. 1. Season the chicken breasts with lemon pepper, kosher salt, and black pepper on both sides.
