 Lemon chicken is the name of several dishes found in cuisines around the world which include chicken and lemon. 

In Canadian Chinese cuisine, it usually consists of pieces of chicken meat that are sautéed or deep-fried and coated with a thick, sweet lemon-flavored sauce.

An unrelated dish from Italy is also called "lemon chicken" (Pollo al Limone). In this dish, a whole chicken is roasted with white wine, fresh lemon juice, fresh thyme, and mirepoix.

In Spain, lemon chicken is similar to the Italian version is called Pollo al Romero con limón y piñones and is a whole lemon chicken with lemon sauce, pine nuts, rosemary, and ham sauteéd together.

Lemon chicken made in France usually includes Dijon mustard in the sauce and is accompanied by roasted potatoes.

Lemon pepper (also called lemon pepper seasoning) is a seasoning made from granulated lemon zest and cracked black peppercorns. The lemon zest is mashed with the pepper to allow the citrus oil to infuse into the pepper. This mix is then baked and dried and can be used on meats (particularly poultry) and pasta, although it was originally used primarily for seafood.

Lemon pepper is generally commercially available in small jars, although it may also be homemade. Commercially available lemon pepper may also include smaller amounts of other ingredients such as salt, sugar, onion, garlic, citric acid, additional lemon flavor, cayenne pepper, and other spices.
