This low carb creamy lemon chicken is a flavorful recipe the whole family will love! Season your chicken breast generously on both sides with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, melt ¼ cup of butter over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breast and sear on both sides for 2 to 3 minutes or until slightly browned.
Make Lemon Chicken: While pasta is cooking, set up 2 bowls. In first bowl, beat together 1 egg and 1 Tbsp milk. In second bowl, combine 1 cup bread crumbs, 1/2 tsp salt and 1/8 tsp black pepper. Dip each chicken cutlet in egg wash, letting excess drip back into the bowl, then dip in bread crumbs, turning to coat.
