To create your Lemon Pepper Chicken, follow these simple steps:

1. Prepare the Marinade: In a small bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt. Mix well.

2. Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in a shallow dish or a zip-top bag. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is coated. Let it marinate for at least 10 minutes (or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator for more flavor).

3. Heat the Pan: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add a drizzle of olive oil and allow it to heat up.

4. Cook the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off. Place the chicken in the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

5. Rest the Chicken: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the pan and let it rest for 5 minutes. This will help retain the juices for a tender bite.

6. Garnish and Serve: Slice the chicken and sprinkle fresh chopped parsley over the top before serving.
