What is lemon pepper made from?

Lemon pepper is such an underrated flavor combination! If sweet and spicy is your thing, then lemon pepper seasoning is a must-try.

It most commonly contains dried lemon zest, pepper, and salt. Other inclusions could be garlic or onion powder. Store-bought varieties may contain additives however, it is super easy to make your own at home.

Just combine all of the ingredients and store them in an air-tight jar or container for up to six months.

Other Key Ingredients for Creamy Lemon Pepper Chicken:

  • Chicken breasts: Slice the chicken breast in half in order to cook faster.
  • Cream of chicken soup mix: This is the base of the creamy lemon pepper sauce.
  • Lemon: They add a freshness to the dish.
  • Garlic: This pairs perfectly with the lemon flavor.
  • Bell pepper & onion blend: One thing I ALWAYS keep on hand in my freezer are the pre-cut bell pepper and onion trios. These make cooking so simple, and quick. You cut the prep time by already having the flavor blend ready-to-go. I use them for almost everything I cook!

How to make Creamy Lemon Pepper Chicken:

Before cooking, preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Next, spray a baking dish with non-stick cooking spray. Then combine the seasoning, cream of chicken, and water in a large bowl until everything is thoroughly mixed.

Place a thin layer of the soup mixture into the bottom of the dish then add the chicken in a single layer. Add the bell pepper mixture on top of the chicken.

Pour the rest of the soup mixture over the chicken to coat it evenly. Then add sliced lemon on top of the chicken breasts. Cover the pan with foil and bake for 45 minutes.

After that, uncover the chicken and cook it for an additional 15 minutes in order to thicken the sauce. Finally, remove it from the oven and enjoy!

What are some good sides for Creamy Lemon Pepper Chicken?

Add a couple of simple sides- broccoli or a salad, maybe some rice or potatoes, and you have yourself a meal! The chicken turns out so moist, tender, and FULL of flavor.

Your family will devour this meal, and keep asking for more. Make a starch to help sop up all of the delicious lemon pepper gravy that is made. Here are some ideas:

  • Something cheesy like Macaroni and Cheese, or scalloped potatoes would make for the perfect comfort meal.
  • A simple salad is ideal if you need something low-carb.
  • Imagine that lemon pepper sauce poured over white rice.
  • Broccoli would keep dinner light but filling and nutritious.
  • Mashed potatoes like this Creamy Loaded Mashed Potato Casserole or Loaded Mashed Potato Cakes would make for a hearty meal.
