Our go-to dessert for family birthdays has always been this! The kids like selecting their own ice cream flavors. In fact, the youngest is still doing well at the age of 19! Coffee and cookies and cream are two popular ice cream flavors.

Great recipe. Family really liked it. Tip: I had really big chicken breast that I was glad I cut up. If it’s too big, it will take longer and risk burning.
Very good, I thought 1 tablespoon of pepper was too much, I used half the amount and i’m glad I did. My favorite part was the burnt stuff I scraped off after cooking. Mmm.
I added a little cilantro to the chicken and the family loved it!
The flavor would be amazing if you use about 1/3 the recommended pepper and a bit more lemon juice. It’s inedible if you use what they recommended. I’d still use the recipe again, just with a LOT less pepper.
Super easy. Great results.
There was too much pepper! My friend and I ate it and the pepper is still burning our mouths! If you try this recipe, don’t use the amount of pepper called for.
Pretty standard lemon-pepper chicken. I upped the amount of lemon, and recommend going easier on the pepper than the recipe calls for. I used cutlets instead of cutting breasts in half and found that to be a really quick version of the dish that still tasted great. Goes well with sauteed vegetables (I used potato [chopped up and baked until a bit crispy before sauteing], red pepper, onion, and brocolli in the chicken grease left in the pan) and garlic mashed potatoes.
I love this recipe….i added a little extra butter, fresh garlic, and extra lemon and it was AMAZING… definitely keeper
Very yummy recipe!! I used thin cut chicken breast and reduced the pepper a bit. YUMMO!
I used a little more lemon juice than what the recipe called for – it’s amazing! So much flavor! Very quick and easy to make 🙂
Love Love Love!!! Quick, easy, and delicious. What more could you ask for? The only thing I did different is that I used lemon pepper spice instead of pepper and lemon juice.
Quick to make! Husband wasn’t wild about it. Just said “yeah, it was good”. I’ll use leftovers on a salad tomorrow.
I made this with breast tenders, 1 package, I doubled the butter. It was delicious, and really quick made rice and broccoli as a side great meal in 20 minutes
A little too much pepper. Next time I’m going to use 1/2 the recommended amount, other than that a great chicken meal. It was also beautiful on the plate with zucchini and yellow squash.
I followed this recipe exactly but added a few sprinkles of lemon and pepper seasoning before cooking it. The taste was amazing!
i loved this. simple but delicious, juicy and quick. anything cooked in butter is awesome of course. i love pepper, so this was not too much for me. fresh lemon juice kicked it over the top. i served it over a bed of fresh spinach. i just started the Atkin’s diet and this fits nicely within the diet. I can see myself having this everyday.
I made this recipe for dinner and boy was it delicious!! Definetly one recipe i will be making once a week!!
Just made this for my boyfriend & roommate. They both loved it! I took someone else’s suggestion & deglazed w/white wine at the end. Perfect topping! Boyfriend said I could make this anytime I wanted & I will!
This recipe is one that I have to say, has my grandaughter Jc runs down to dinner evertime I make it! She is a very picky teenager when it comes to Food! What I do is I melt margerine and add Lemon Pepper (by Lawry’s) and put in a baking dish and let marinade all day (cover) and it taste so good and Moist,This is a winner for me!
pretty good for a quick chicken seasoning. my bf and i both enjoyed it thanks 🙂
absolutely terrific! My family loved it!
