3. Make the Lemon Pepper Sauce:
Once the chicken is cooked through, reduce the heat to low. Add the lemon juice to the skillet and stir, scraping any browned bits from the bottom of the pan to mix into the sauce. Let it simmer for a minute or two to combine.
Taste and adjust the seasoning with extra salt and pepper, if needed.
4. Serve:
Plate the chicken breasts and spoon the sauce over the top.
Garnish with lemon slices and fresh parsley for added color and freshness.
