  • If you don't have lemon pepper seasoning, you can make your own by mixing together equal parts lemon zest, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
  • To ensure that the chicken is cooked through, use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature has reached 165°F (74°C).
  • If you're short on time, you can skip the marinating step and cook the chicken immediately. However, marinating the chicken for at least 30 minutes will help to infuse it with more flavor.
  • Serve the lemon pepper chicken with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.
