1 teaspoon lemon pepper seasoning
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
3 tablespoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon grated lemon peel
1/4 cup chopped pistachio nut, toasted
lemon slices

Directions:

Flatten each chicken breast half to 1/4-inch thickness between sheets of plastic wrap or waxed paper. Sprinkle both sides of chicken with lemon pepper.
Heat oil in 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat.

*To toast nuts, bake uncovered in ungreased shallow pan in 350° oven about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown. Or cook in ungreased heavy skillet over medium-low heat 5 to 7 minutes, stirring frequently until browning begins, then stirring constantly until golden brown.

Betty's Tip
Hot cooked rice and cooked baby-cut carrots or broccoli are the perfect accompaniments for this lemony nutty chicken.
