Ingredients
  

  • Olive oil
  • 2 chicken fillets
  • 2 fresh lemons
  • 1 1/2 cup Italian bread crumbs or almond flour for Gluten free and Paleo

Instructions
 

  • In a plate that is big enough so that the chicken pieces don't overlap, add enough lemon juice to cover the bottom. Take your chicken filets or tenders and spread them out in the juice. Let them sit for about 2 minutes then turn them over and let the other side get lemony. While that is going on put 1 1/2 cups of Italian bread crumbs in a plate (or gluten free bread crumbs) (or gluten free bread crumbs) and put a skillet on the stove at medium high. Add enough olive oil to the pan so that it is about 1/4 inch deep and let it heat up. One at a time press the chicken pieces in the bread crumbs to get them coated all over. As each piece gets breaded add it to the pan. When browned turn them over and cook until the juices run clear and/or they are firm to a poke with your finger. Squeeze lemon juice on just before serving. Everybody will really like them!
