Ingredients

For the Chicken Bake

• 4 Ellsworth Foods Chicken Breasts
• 1 package Ellsworth Foods Broccoli
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• Salt and black pepper, to taste
• 1 lemon, thinly sliced

For the Lemon Cream Sauce

• ½ cup mayonnaise
• ¼ cup heavy cream (or plain Greek yogurt)
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon dried or fresh parsley
• ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven. Preheat your oven to 375°F. Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
2. Assemble the bake. Arrange the lemon slices in an even layer across the bottom of the baking dish. Place the chicken breasts on top, then surround them with the broccoli. Drizzle everything with the olive oil and season generously with salt and pepper.
3. Make the lemon cream sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, heavy cream (or Greek yogurt), lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, parsley, and Parmesan cheese if using. Stir until smooth and well combined.
4. Bake. Pour the lemon cream sauce evenly over the chicken and broccoli. Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and the sauce is bubbling around the edges.
5. Optional broil. For a beautifully golden finish, switch the oven to broil and cook for an additional 2–3 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning.
6. Serve & enjoy. Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving. Spoon the creamy lemon sauce over the chicken and broccoli, and garnish with fresh parsley or extra lemon slices if desired.
