Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more for coating the pan
- 1 tablespoon salt-free lemon pepper seasoning blend
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 2 pounds total)
- 1 small lemon
- 2 tablespoons coarsely chopped fresh parsley leaves
- Arrange a rack in the middle of the oven and heat the oven to 425°F. Lightly coat a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter.
- Melt 3 tablespoons unsalted butter in a small saucepan over medium-low heat or in a small bowl in the microwave. Add 1 tablespoon salt-free lemon pepper seasoning and 1 teaspoon kosher salt and stir until combined.
- Pat 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Place the chicken in the prepared baking dish, spaced slightly apart. Brush the chicken all over with all of the butter mixture.
- Thinly slice 1 lemon and scatter the slices around the chicken. Bake until the chicken is golden-brown, cooked through, and registers 165°F on an instant-read thermometer, 25 to 35 minutes. Meanwhile, coarsely chop enough parsley leaves to get 2 tablespoons. Serve the chicken garnished with the parsley.
