This Creamy Lemon Chicken is the kind of dinner that makes everyone at the table go quiet for a second — and then immediately ask for seconds.

Pan-seared chicken breasts, thick and golden on the outside and impossibly juicy inside, swimming in the most luscious lemon cream sauce you’ve ever tasted. The sauce is bright and tangy from fresh lemon juice, rich from the cream, and fragrant with garlic and fresh parsley. It sounds fancy. It takes 25 minutes. That’s my kind of weeknight dinner.

We love this over rice or pasta to soak up every drop of that sauce — and trust me, you will want to soak up every single drop. This one is a regular at our dinner table, and I have a feeling it’s about to become one at yours too!

I like to serve this with rice and keep the main dish in the middle of the table so the presentation has a feast like appeal and the experience is communal. This meal will please your sense of sight, taste and smell as you and your family bond over the days happenings while experiencing a quality meal together. I know we all remember our mothers and grandmothers’ kitchen as children and feeling safe and loved, by the work activities being undertaken to prepare a fabulous meal.  I take it upon myself to hold a place in my family’s memories that will show them how to love and be loved because, we take the time to break bread together while we enjoy the reward of our labor that comes from a place of love. As always; check out the video to see how easy this is to prepare and let me know what you think about this dish. Hope you are having a great day. Best wishes to all!
