Since guiding my eating towards the Trim Healthy Mama plan, I’ve been craving creamy dishes. This creamy lemon chicken hit the spot for me. I still at times miss my beloved pasta, but I am serious about getting my weight under control, so I can work on my self-love goal this year. 

I am a full time teacher, blogger, and single mama that just doesn’t have the luxury of spending a lot of time in the kitchen. 

However, I have discovered that making a hearty healthy meal has nothing to do with spending long hours in the kitchen. It’s about finding balance and those family favorite recipes that everyone looks forward to that makes a happy gang.

Last weekend, I whipped up this easy Lemon chicken breasts recipe for lunch for my gang. I served it with cauliflower rice, green beans and a big green salad. The creamy lemon sauce was divine. If your not concerned with carbs, I would serve this on top of  angel hair pasta.

But in all honesty, nobody missed the pasta. I gave my children a piece of buttered bread, and all were satisfied.
