Flour Coating Technique 🥄
Use a mixture of flour and lemon pepper seasoning to create a flavorful, crispy exterior on the chicken breasts.
Sauce Consistency Magic 🥣
Whisk your chicken stock and lemon juice slowly into the pan drippings to create a smooth, emulsified sauce without lumps.
Chicken Pounding Perfection 🔨
Pound chicken breasts to an even 1/2-inch thickness before cooking to ensure uniform cooking and maximum tenderness.
