Ingredients

2 tablespoons butter
3 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1.5 teaspoons salt
1.5 teaspoons ground black pepper
2 tablespoons garlic powder, divided
1 lemon, juiced

Instructions

Prepare all ingredients for cooking.
Melt butter in a skillet on medium-high heat. Season chicken with salt and fresh ground pepper; place in melted butter. Cook chicken, turning often, until golden brown, approximately 5 minutes.
Sprinkle 1 tablespoon minced garlic over chicken; cook for just 2 minutes. Flip and sprinkle remaining 1 tablespoon minced garlic on the second side; cook another 2 minutes.
Pour fresh lemon juice over each side of the chicken and cook until it is cooked through, around 5 to 10 minutes more. A meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the chicken should register at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
Serve and enjoy this simple recipe!
