Prepare the Chicken
Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Season both sides generously with salt, black pepper, and lemon zest. Drizzle lemon juice over the chicken and let it marinate for about 15 minutes.

Cook the Chicken
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken breasts and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and golden brown. Transfer the chicken to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm.
