For extra flavor, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the skillet while the chicken is cooking. Serve with a side of roasted vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad for a complete and balanced meal. Ensure the skillet is hot enough before adding the chicken to achieve a good sear. Use fresh lemon juice for the best and brightest flavor. Boneless, skinless chicken thighs can be substituted for chicken breasts. Adjust cooking time accordingly.
