Steps

30 min
  1. 1

    Remove all skin and fat from the chicken breast.

  2. 2

    Season the chicken with salt, basil, and black pepper. Use a knife to poke small holes in the chicken so the lemon juice can soak in and add more flavor.

  3. 3

    Meanwhile, heat a skillet with a little olive oil and a pinch of butter.

  4. 4

    Place the chicken in the skillet. Occasionally poke more holes in the chicken and add more lemon juice as it cooks.
