Preparation

Step 1

Instructions
Cut the chicken in half horizontally to make 2 steaks. Optional: pound to make them even thickness around 1cm / 2/5" thick (I do this).
Zest the lemons to make 1½ - 2 tbsp lemon zest. Avoid grating too much of the white part - it's bitter.
Place zest into bowl with 1 tbsp olive oil and mix to combine. Add chicken and use your hands to slather oil mixture onto chicken.
Mix flour, salt, pepper and garlic powder in a shallow bowl.
Dip chicken into flour mixture, shaking to remove excess.
Heat oil in a skillet over medium high heat. Cook chicken for 2 minutes or until golden on each side.
Optional: Slice zested lemon and cook the slices, like pictured.
Serve chicken, garnished with fresh parsley if using.
