Mrs. C's Lemon Chicken

Ingredients

• 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

Directions

1. 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. 2

   Reduce heat to low.

3. 3

   Add butter, allow to melt.

4. 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. 5

   Add paprika and lemon juice.

6. 6

   Sauce will thicken after a few minutes of simmering. Serve over hot basmati rice.

7. 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.
