• Meanwhile, place your hand flat on top of each chicken breast and slice through horizontally to make two thin steaks. Combine lemon pepper spice blend and a drizzle of olive oil in a medium bowl. Add chicken. Season, then turn to coat. • In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. • Cook chicken steaks until cooked through (when no longer pink inside), 3-6 minutes each side.
