I made this randomly and it was delicious.
Simple and delicious! I was worried that it was gonna be garlic overkill w/ the amount of powder used, but it created a nice crust and was perfect. For the few ingredients used, this was very flavorful. I did use evoo instead of butter to keep it on the healthier side. I will def be using this recipe again, as the whole family loved it~YUM! Thanks for sharing. :)

Extremely simple and my family loved it too. I would recommend pounding the chicken flat in order to get uniform thickness for cook time.
I really enjoyed this chicken. I pounded it flat before putting it in the pan so that it would cook more evenly. I did cut back on the amount of garlic powder and only used 1 Tbsp. I used a mini fine mesh strainer to evenly sprinkle it over the chicken breasts and it was plenty. The lemon flavor was a great touch. I served this with a rice-orzo pilaf and roasted Brussels sprouts for a fantastic meal.
Very simple to get together, but, really tasty! Don't be hesitant to use the full amount of garlic powder in the recipe. I was afraid it would be overpowering, but, it turned out just perfect. I highly recommend you pound the chicken out to even thickness about 3/4"- 1" thick. It will cook more evenly and quicker while remaining moist and juicy.

I've been making this all week for my dinner! So good! And easy too! It has perfect flavor (not too overpowering), with a moist tender inside and a crisp garlic crust.
Wow! So simple and easy! I did add some fresh garlic and basil in the lemon juice. Paprika And rosemary I added to the chicken. I served it with buttered egg noodles. My whole family loved it!!
Very Simple, very tasty! has a very Dinner at grandmas taste. Only change I made was to use Chicken thighs In place of the chicken breasts, because that is what I had on hand. It was simply wonderful! will be using this again. Thank you for sharing!!
Can you say yummy! I used clarified butter, chicken thighs and added red bell peppers to the pan, otherwise followed recipe. Really, really good. Quick and easy to boot! Who can ask for more. My brother, who is a chef, said it's a great recipe. Served with broccoli and put the lemon-butter sauce from the chicken over the broccoli. OMG good.
This has minimal ingredients, but offers a plethora of flavor profiles, especially when the recipe only requires a few ingredients! I loved the flavor which was very tender and I will definitively keep this in my "go to" easy chicken meals.
If you want something quick to fix for dinner that tastes good, then here's your pick! Easy, quick, and tasty! I didn't follow the measurements because it's just one of those recipes that calls for eyeing your own requirements. I did use all the ingredients, and my hubby kept saying how good it was. That counts! Thanks, Violet Kenow!
I made this exactly as written. Adding the lemon juice on top of the chicken makes chicken breasts tough. It was dry.
I love this combination on chicken and shrimp, kinda like scampi. Not too much garlic for me, but I love garlic on about everything. Garlic powder is great in a hurry but fresh garlic is great if you have time. Fast and simple.
Very flavorful. I made this just for my husband and I and I used a whole lemon. It was just the right amount of tang. I also used a little more butter along the way when the chicken was cooking. Will definitely make again!
I was cooking this recipe just for myself, so I cooked only 1 chicken breast. When I changed the serving size, I saw that I was supposed to sprinkle 2 tsp garlic powder on my one piece of chicken! I just couldn't do it. I did use a little more than 1 teaspoon, though. This was a very flavorful recipe. I loved the lemon flavor.
Great dish, I have been making this for years and it's in our rotation at least twice a month for our family. I ad orange and lime juice (2 parts orange 1 part lemon 1 part lime) and like to spoon any extra juice from the skillet over the chicken before serving.
This tasted great! I love garlic and 2 tablespoons was not too much. Reminded me of chicken spiedini. The only problem I had was that I am not very good at cooking/frying in a pan. I just do not have that touch to made meat perfectly crispy.
This was very good. Used a lot of butter, a lot of garlic powder and lemon juice to taste.
This was a super easy recipe and great if you're in a hurry. I found it waay too garlicy and one of those recipes you have to modify to suit your tastes. I used olive oil instead of butter. Not sure if this is what caused the garlic powder to become soggy. I may try this again but with modified ingredients and baked in the oven.
I'm not a huge fan of pepper, and this was too much pepper for me, but my boyfriend thought it was just the right amount. Vary depending on your personal pepper preferences. I was also concerned that this recipes used way too much garlic powder, but I went with it, and it was great. Very tasty, very flavorful, and very easy to make. High marks.
This is so simple and yet delivers so much flavor. I didn't measure the garlic or lemon juice and it still came out well. I so seldom cook chicken on the stove top that this was a lovely treat. Thank you. Violet,
This was tasty and I liked that it was ready to eat in under 30 minutes. Quick dinners are a plus in this household. I cut my thick chicken breasts in half horizontally and then in thirds because they were VERY large breasts. I also only used enough garlic powder to give them a good coating, not the full amount called for. Served with a nice garden salad and dinner was done in a flash.
This was simple and easy to make. I followed the recipe pretty much to the tee but free handed the seasoning measurements. Still came out delicious. Served it with rosemary and olive oil quinoa.
It came out very dry. The amount of garlic powder is surprisingly okay - the first time I made it I didn't trust the recipe and put too little and it was not enough. I chose to marinade the chicken in lemon juice instead of pouring it over, and I delayed adding the butter because the butter burns easily.
Good dish. The family liked it although the recipe listed calls for a bit more pepper than necessary.
Easy, quick, and full of flavor. I used 2 large boneless skinless breasts, and cut them in half to make sure they cooked through without drying out. I don't think I used the full amount of seasonings, but just seasoned generously during cooking. Everyone enjoyed this simple, easy, and delicious chicken!
This was great, I used this as a base recipe to make shredded chicken and used it with rice casserole it was amazing. I will make this a staple chicken recipe!!
Holy Chicken! This came out so good. The flavors cooked into the chicken so well and it was very tender. The family loved it! It's super simple but really good. I came here looking for something quick, easy and tasty and it was all of that. I made this with fried rice on the side. Definitely going to make this again. If anyone is looking for more flavor or want to add extra it's pretty flexible. I did follow the recipe exactly though and loved it.
This was just okay for us. With the other 5 star ratings I was expecting more. We made the recipe exactly as written. If we try it again we will make it on the grill. It just seemed like it was missing something. The family said they would eat it again if I made it but they didn't care for it enough to put it into the menu rotation.
I pounded the chicken flat to get a uniform thickness - taking a suggestion from other reviewers. Then, I cooked it according to the recipe. I found the chicken fairly dry/tough but the flavor was ok. I probably won't make this again.
I am absolutely amazed at how simple AND delicious this is. I used a mixture of olive oil and butter to "fry" the chicken in. I also got it sizzling before I put the chicken in. Use all the garlic powder! I also used a bit of salt, pepper, and garlic salt (very light sprinkle)
This was a simple to make but delicious recipe. This will be one of the recipes for teaching my 10 year old granddaughter to cook.
This is a great, easy recipe for new cooks. Be generous with the garlic powder for a more pronounced taste. This recipe pairs well with a seasoned vegetable.
It was actually very good. I cut the spices down by about 25%, and it was very salty and spicy. It has the potential to be very good and is quite easy, but the spices were a little much. Next time I will make it,and half the spices.
Idk if it was the garlic or the lemon but something didn't mix well with my tastebuds.
Wow!!! Add another star or two for how good this is! I’ve never combined the garlic and lemon juice, but it is a winner! We gave this a big thumb’s up!
I chopped the chicken into smaller bits and put it over pasta! I highly recommend this recipe!
Very flavorful! I used b/s chicken tenders and followed directions. This will become part of my family's dinner rotation.
This recipe was easy with few ingredients . I was surprised how delicious it was! Highly revommend this! Now to size it up for potluck style volumes. Thank you!
A little to much garlic for me but after that it was great
The only change I made was throwing in some slices of garlic into the skillet. One can never have too much garlic.
Made as directed and came out very good. Had with rice and used leftovers for salads. Will make again. Thanks to OP and other reviewers:)
So simple to make and very tasty! I will definitely add this to my rotation of meals.
My family LOVES this dish and I love how simple it is. I used boneless skinless chicken thighs so they weren't dried out like some of the other reviews mentioned. I didn't change anything else about this recipe and it was awesome!
Will make again! Just added some capers because why not? And made a side of saffron rice! So yummy.
I made it and it turned out so great I didn't make any changes didn't need to it was amazing
Simple & delicious. I used seasoned salt and less garlic powder, because I don’t like a strong garlic taste. Paired with a baked potato & green salad. Perfect for a weeknight!!
I made this as at the last minute last night, it was great! Super fast to make on a busy week night, I didn’t change anything, perfect recipe!
Only one change: I feel like this should call for 3 chicken breasts halved, rather than 3 chicken breast halves.
4 12 17 .... http://allrecipes.com/recipe/240993/lemon-garlic-chicken/ ... 'Didn't know if this would be simple but good or just simple. It's simple & good! :) Quick to make. Quick to eat. One lemon didn't cut it for flavoring, but that's my only adjustment. Thanks for the recipe!
We only used half a lemon and it was still just a touch too lemony. We made this twice and it was yummy both times. Gives the chicken a well rounded flavor that makes me want to eat more.
Easy to make... I take leftovers and use it as part of a salad for lunches... yum!
This was really good. The only difference is I added a couple of boneless thighs. Yum!
Pretty good! Simple and easy to make, and very tasty. Only thing I would change s maybe add some minced garlic, as most of mine was crusted on to the pan
This was delicious! I added lemon pepper seasoning, roasted garlic salt instead of garlic powder, & a sprinkle of crushed red pepper flakes too.
incredible recipe!!! I kept adding garlic powder and lemon juice as it was cooking to add extra flavor, and it came out fantastic! very easy to make on a budget. loved it
Easy and decent for chicken. I'm not a big chicken fan but my wife really likes it and she enjoyed.
This is a delicious, simple, “go to” in our house. We love this. This with some asparagus with Parmesan cheese on top for the side....oh yeah.
Great taste and something that comes together easily. Love lemon-garlic anything and this one is a keeper! I know I used more garlic than in the recipe-adjust to taste.
Lemon Garlic Chicken Haiku: "Well, color me shocked! Didn't think it'd be so good. What's with all the 'flips?'" I reduced the recipe for a couple chicken tenderloins that I was eating solo for lunch, and like other reviews b4 me, was skeptical of using THAT much garlic powder, but I followed the recipe as written and was very happy w/ the light, lemony, buttery, garlic results! A perfectly simple chicken that's nice on its own, but tasted better over salad greens. What I don't understand is why the recipe calls to flip the chicken so frequently, as I've always thought that only two flips per piece of protein is necessary for retaining the perfect amount of flavorful, crusty exterior? Either way, I did what the recipe's directions said to do, and was delighted enough w/ the chicken's taste that I'll put this in the keeper file!
No substitutions...chicken was absolutely delicious, full of flavor, and crusted with goodness. I will definitely add this as a new favorite.
Loved it! Easy to make and usually have all ingredients. Simple and Delicious!
This was so good and my 16 yr old cooked it. Very simple but so good. this was her first time cooking and she found the recipes and then she cooked. It was great. A child could cook this .
I used chicken tenderloins and used olive oil and half the amount of butter. I served with rice pilaf and brandy carrots. Tastes great
The lemon and the garlic were not overpowering, and it created a very pleasant eating experience. Does it have a ton of kick? No, but the recipe is simple enough to be modified/enhanced to suit one’s taste, depending on what you want. I served it with pasta that I made in a butter and herb sauce and it was a great meal.
Because my husband is fighting kidney stone issues, I had to make some changes. The lemon is perfect for him; salt and pepper are not. I used herbs de Provence along with a seasoned salt (because salt and pepper are minimal in it) for seasoning. Also, used EVOO instead of butter. I also sliced the breasts (instead of pounding) to make them thinner. A reminder to all who do that: your timing may go much quicker! Be sure to use a thermometer or probe! I also used roasted garlic. ALL my spices are Penzeys. Served over bow tie noodles (farfalle). We loved every tiny scrap of this. Oh, I didn't have fresh lemon, but I had bottled lemon juice, which was fine.
Quite tasty, will make a gain. Will maybe try olive oil rather than butter. Kids loved it, will make it again!
This recipe is quick and easy to make with amazing results. I was impressed with how the garlic powder made a nice crust without overpowering the other flavors and the fresh lemon juice really gave everything a nice bright flavor. I served it with a side of quinoa and steamed carrots and those seemed to pair up well. I'd love to say more but it's a simple and effective recipe that works great when you need to bang out a quick dinner with minimal prep and quick clean up. Will definitely make again.
I was looking for a lemony chicken recipe that wasn’t piccata when I found this one. I decided to cook this based on all the good reviews plus I like lemon and garlic. The lemon and garlic flavors are quite strong, too strong for my family. The whole house smells like garlic powder and lemon. I washed the leftover chicken off after dinner to try to salvage the remaining chicken.
Super easy to make. Great instructions and ingredients. Our family absolutely loves it.
A simple recipe that is simply delicious. I cut the chicken breast into medallions, pounded them to a uniform thickness and then brined them for one hour. This allowed a shorter cooking time. These were perfect served alongside a salad for a light dinner.
Very easy to make and simply delicious. My entire family enjoyed this meal. I prepared exactly as the recipe suggested and would not change a thing.
