Lemon Pepper Chicken with Brown Butter Garlic Lemon Sauce
Juicy chicken is coated in lemon pepper seasoning and baked to tender perfection in this easy recipe. The brown butter garlic lemon sauce on top is absolutely incredible!
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Season the chicken thighs with the lemon pepper seasoning. Add olive oil to a medium sized skillet. Sear the chicken on each side for 2-3 minutes until each side is golden brown. Remove and set aside on a plate.
Add the butter and cook over medium high heat. Continue to whisk for a few minutes until the butter starts to become frothy and brown. Add in the chicken broth, garlic, and juice of one lemon. Add the chicken thighs to the skillet and coat in the sauce.
Bake in the oven for 20 minutes or until chicken is cooked throughout and no longer pink.
