Steps
Place the chicken in a bowl and add olive oil, Italian seasoning, lemon pepper, parsley, thyme, Cajun seasoning, black pepper, and paprika.
Add a little bit of fresh lemon zest and lemon juice to the chicken mixture.
Mix everything together really well to ensure the chicken is evenly coated. You can add salt if desired, though the seasonings may provide enough flavor without it.
Heat a skillet over medium heat with a little more olive oil if needed. Cook the chicken on each side for about 7 to 10 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
While the chicken cooks, prepare your sides; the author suggests rice and broccoli with Kinder's Liquid Gold seasoning.
Plate the chicken over a bed of rice and drizzle with the remaining lemon-herb sauce from the marinade or pan.
Notes
The author notes that this is a healthy sauce and can be used generously. Salt is optional as the Cajun and lemon pepper seasonings often contain salt. Pair with rice and roasted broccoli for a complete meal.
