Zest and juice of 1 lemon

Prepare your ingredients by gathering everything you need.
Tenderize the chicken breasts by placing them between plastic wrap and pounding until about ½ inch thick.

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Fry the breaded chicken for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
