This Lemon Pepper Chicken goes with everything!



Today I’m sharing my easy lemon pepper chicken recipe! This was the first chicken recipe I tried to make when I started cooking. It was so delicious that I would cook it at least thrice a week! This juicy and tasty chicken recipe does not need fancy ingredients and is beginner friendly. Once you try it, you’ll cook it almost every day. So simple to make that everyone can make it. If you give it a shot, let me know how you like it!

    Keep up the good work with your videos! Your cooking videos are some of the best videos I have seen on YouTube.

    How about we add a fresh oregano sprig in the pan with garlic instead of dried one on the chicken? Would infuse a nice fragrance.

    Thank you so much i'm from iran and a girl but i couldn't cook besided a boiled chicken and i never ate chicken breast since i disliked the texture and taste. I just know very basic things. I made this recipe and it tasted sooo good and i made it for my family and they complimented me. I never look up cooking from youtube because they bore me or scare me but this is so simply explained and in a short form. Thank you sooo much ❤❤❤❤
