Lemon Pepper Chicken Recipe

This lemon pepper chicken with butter sauce is a simple recipe thats's ready in just 20 minutes , this perfect dinner for a busy weeknight..

One thing to take note of: all lemon pepper seasoning is not created equal. When I purchased my lemon pepper for this recipe, I read the ingredients of 4 different brands and they varied quite a bit. Some lemon pepper brands contain salt, others use citric acid instead of actual lemon peel, and some even use yellow food coloring! I recommend looking for a more natural ingredient list, to me citric acid isn’t a great substitute for real lemon peel.
