Creamy Lemon Pepper Chicken has, over generations, earned its place as one of the classics of the dinner table. Savory chicken, cooked to a golden brown, flavored with zesty lemon pepper, and draped in a creamy sauce is guaranteed to bewitch anyone who takes a bite. You can serve it over potatoes or rice (which helps to soak up some of that indulgent sauce) or with a crunchy side salad for a bit of refreshment. It's time to go back to the classics with Creamy Lemon Pepper Chicken.
