I orginally shared this recipe during my Weekly Meal Plan. Julie one of my readers mentioned the fat content of this recipe. I do agree it is quite high, but I think that is an easy fix. Swap ingredients with low fat versions. 98% fat free soup, skim milk, and trimming the chicken of any fat can easily lower the fat content.
I also wanted to give all my readers a heads up. I'll be posting a review soon and I want you to take a moment and check out this great sponsor over at stool. Don't forget to enter my current giveaway here.

A meal with high fat content isn't too bad once in a while! :) But I've been known to switch out ingredients like you mentioned. Skim milk instead of whole milk, etc.
This sounds like a really easy to prepare, comfort-food type of meal!
I think I'll give it a try...soon!
Ooooo...this sounds so good! Definitely going to try this..thanks!
Friday Follower following you! Have a great weekend.
Do you have a favorite lemon pepper seasoning. I've not been too pleased with the ones I have tried...the lemon seems to be too artificial. This sounds really delicious, so I want to give it a try. Thanks so much for posting it to Crock Pot Wednesday. I hope to see you there again this week.
Thanks to all the new followers coming in. :) I've returned the favor.
Alison, Shelley I hope you enjoy it! Come back and let me know. :)
Debbie, you're welcome. I like linking up with you I sometimes don't get the chance though. As for your question on the lemon pepper I agree. I don't like the artifical flavor. I've been known to zest a lemon and squeeze a bit of juice into this recipe along with some pepper. I think McCormick is okay, I've used it also. It is hard to find something like the real thing. Good luck.
