  • Step 1

    Slice each chicken breast in half lengthwise across the middle so that it opens out like a book. Heat the oil in a large skillet over a medium/high heat. Season the chicken breast on each side with salt, pepper and lemon zest. Pan fry for 6 minutes on each side or until completely cooked through and the juices run clear.
