Mrs. C's Lemon Chicken

My friend's mom used to make this for us in college - it's not a fancy meal, but it's delicious and definite comfort food!

• Ready In: 13 mins
• Serves: 2-3

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. 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.
