Mix together the flour, lemon pepper seasoning and salt to taste. Pour the flour mixture onto a plate or into a shallow bowl.
Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium high heat.
Dredge the chicken breasts in the flour mixture, turning to coat evenly.
Place the chicken in the pan and cook for 5-6 minutes per side or until done.
Remove the chicken from the pan and place on a plate. Cover to keep warm.
Melt the butter in the pan, and whisk in the lemon juice. Season with salt to taste.
Place the chicken back in the pan. Spoon the sauce over the chicken.
Sprinkle with parsley and serve, garnished with lemon slices and extra parsley sprigs if desired.

Notes
All lemon pepper seasoning is not created equal. When I purchased my lemon pepper for this recipe, I read the ingredients of 4 different brands and they varied quite a bit. Some lemon pepper brands contain salt, others use citric acid instead of actual lemon peel, and some even use yellow food coloring! I recommend choosing one with a more natural ingredient list.
I recommend using thin cut chicken breasts because they cook quicker and more evenly than thick chicken breasts. If you don't have thin cut breasts, you can pound regular ones to a thinner consistency with a meat mallet.
