Ingredients

2 Tbs Flour

.5 tsp Salt

.25 tsp Pepper

12 ounce Chicken (breast; boneless/skinless)

  • Stir in the chicken and the lemon zest; heat through.
  • Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the parsley and lemon juice; toss to coat.

Katie Dishes - One Thumb Up

Very good, light, fresh but flavorful chicken dish.  I serve with rice and sometimes add soy if I want it to have more of a Chinese flair.
