Easy, creamy–and most definitely a comfort food, this simple and delicious meal is sure to please both guests and family alike. Without further ado, here’s today’s recipe for Easy, Creamy Lemon Pepper Chicken. I hope your family enjoys it as much as ours does! Serve this chicken over rice with a side of green beans or asparagus.
This recipe originally came from my friend Erin, over at the Humbled Homemaker. And y’all always remember -t here’s no reason to be scared when a recipe calls for cream of chicken soup, it is so easy to make from scratch. Good lemon pepper seasoning isn’t hard to find either. Trader Joes and several stores online (like Amazon) carry organic, MSG-free brands.

Creamy Lemon Pepper Chicken
- 3-4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (either frozen or thawed out is fine)
- 1 recipe cream of chicken soup (equivalent to 1 can*)
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 2 Tbsp.+ lemon pepper seasoning*
- 4 oz. chopped mushrooms
- Place chicken breasts on the bottom of your slow cooker. I don’t even grease mine, but you might if you are afraid of things sticking. Sprinkle chicken with lemon pepper.
- Mix soup, milk and 2 Tbsp. lemon pepper.
- Add mushrooms to soup mix.
- Pour soup mixture over chicken in the crock pot. Add chicken broth.
- Cook on low for 6 hours or on high for 4 hours.
ON my first attempt I tried your homemade chicken soup and it turned lumpy in the crockpot (I’m sure that’s not how its supposed to turmn out 🙁
On the second attempt I used cream of chicken soup from a can and it turned out amazing!
Thanks
Interesting! It definitely isn’t supposed to be lumpy – but I’m glad it worked better the second time around 🙂
Thanks Kaley,

Just put this together in my crock pot…can not wait to see how it turns out! Thanks for posting this…it looks so good MMMmmm
I hope you loved it!
Cumin! My fave!
Just ate this for dinner over rice, it came out really well. I think I may try adding curry powder or cumin (both?) next time!
I hope you loved every last drop!
I have it in the crockpot right now, it smells amazing! I almost want to eat dinner right now instead of waiting another hour 🙂 I’m a fitness coach so I’m always looking for quick, easy and delicious dinners for my challengers — now I can add this one to my list. Thank you!
Tried this recipe tonight and it was a huge hit! The sauce was a little runny for some reason, but my husband (who’s Greek) had the brilliant idea of turning the leftovers into avgolemono soup. Just shred the remaining chicken and add rice! Yum!
That sounds delicious! Smart husband!
Just surfed into this lemon pepper recipe, but think I will use it this weekend! But a warning I learned from a dietician about buying lemon pepper:READ the ingredients — for some the first ingredient listed is SALT!!
Yep, that’s what Erin said…I had no idea! I’ll be very careful going forward. I like to make my own seasonings when I can. 🙂 Enjoy the recipe!
Stacy, I was exhausted today and knew I needed a quick, easy and healthy meal to prepare. This was perfect. I made some subs: DH doesn’t like mushrooms, so I used chopped zucchini and cream of celery. I added chopped onions and a little bit of white wine for flavor. At the end I also added frozen broccoli to get more veggies in the meal. I shredded the chicken and served over a mix of rice and quinoa. My husband rates my meals and this earned a 9.8 out of 10. Yea! Thanks 🙂
I’ll pass that along to Erin! 🙂 So glad you enjoyed it!
I love easy crock pot dinners! It is so nice to come home after a busy day and discover a hearty meal waiting for me. Thanks for sharing this with the Hearth and Soul Hop.
You are most welcome. 🙂
oooh YUM! This looks so good. I love lemon but strangely I have never tried making Lemon chicken, go figure! This looks great and I love finding new crockpot recipes! Thanks for sharing 🙂
Make sure to check back here every Friday for a new Crock Pot recipe. 🙂
Not a fan of lemon, but Barry loves it!
I’m making the “cream soup” recipe today and I can’t think of a better recipe to try it on than Crock Pot Lemon Pepper Chicken. It should be a great Saturday night dinner.
We hope you enjoy it!
I want to thank you for the reference to “cream soup” one makes oneself. I am lactose intolerant so can not use the tinned soup & have had a difficult time making a substitute. This recipe will save me some serious headwork – I can use the lactose free milk or another non-milk substitute.
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!
You’re most welcome……soup away! 🙂
I hope one of the two recipes will work out for you!! I am actually wanting to experiment in making a dairy-free/gluten-free version sometime soon. My daughter is dairy/gluten free. My idea is to try rice milk and rice flour with maybe a little arrowroot or cornstarch to thicken it some more (if needed). I can’t promise that will work, but that’s what’s in my head! Of course, it would be a lot easier just to avoid one allergen or another. I really hope this works for you!
Thanks so much for having me again, Stacy! 🙂 <3
You’re welcome anytime!
I’ve always wondered how homemade creamed soup holds up in the crock pot! I’m definitely going to have to try it now.
Good luck Anne! Now you can let your creativity fly!
This should open up a whole new world of opportunity for you! Now, if only I can develop a good GF/DF version…!
