Creamy Lemon Chicken is a quick dinner with chicken breasts baked in a creamy lemon sauce to serve over rice or pasta.

I love my Mom’s recipe for Chicken Divan. It’s a favorite from my childhood that I still enjoy making today. But it’s not exactly healthy. It’s delicious comfort food to be sure. But the recipe is heavy-handed with mayonnaise and shredded cheese. This recipe is similar but the sauce is lighter, minus the cheese. Served over broccoli rice it reminds me of my Mom’s Chicken Divan. This Creamy Lemon Chicken is so full of flavor. And takes hardly any time to prepare. Making it perfect for a busy weeknight dinner.

How to make Creamy Lemon Chicken

It’s almost embarrassing how easy this dinner is to make. Place boneless, skinless chicken breasts in a casserole dish. Whisk together the sauce ingredients. The sauce is a combination of cream of chicken soup, fresh lemon juice, sour cream, parsley and garlic salt. Pour the sauce over the chicken. Cover the dish and bake until the chicken reaches a temperature of 165 degrees F.
