Total Time: 13 mins Preparation Time: 5 mins Cook Time: 8 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 2
• 2 boneless chicken breasts
• 3 tablespoons butter
• 1 lemon, juice of
• 1 1/2 teaspoons mccormick california style lemon pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• salt

Recipe

• 1 chop chicken into bite-size pieces. cook in a nonstick pan over medium high heat until cooked through, but still moist - about 5 minutes.
• 2 reduce heat to low.
• 3 add butter, allow to melt.
• 4 add lemon pepper - i really coat the chicken with this, but if you like a milder flavor you can cut back on it. stir to combine.
• 5 add paprika and lemon juice.
• 6 sauce will thicken after a few minutes of simmering. serve over hot basmati rice.
• 7 note: depending on the size of your chicken breasts, you might want to adjust the sauce. this recipe makes a nice amount of sauce to coat the chicken, if using medium sized (~6oz) breasts. i never actually measure the ingredients for this, i just do it by taste. you could also substitute a 1/2 cup chicken stock for the butter to reduce the fat in this.
