Important NOTE:
This recipe was originally made using a product that is no longer available. Because of this, I have reworked the recipe and I promise the new version is just as good, to be honest… we think it is better. Try it and you’ll see!
Face it, I’m a busy mom. You’re probably a busy mom too. And even if you’re not a busy mom, you’re probably just a busy person, because in this day and age, we just are.
Running here, running there, to this event and that practice and this activity and it’s just difficult to find the time to do many of the things we need to do.
Weeknights are most especially busy for us.
With 5 teenagers who all have after-school activities, music lessons, jobs, and let’s not forget homework I always feel stressed trying to get a delicious dinner on the table that my family will love.
It’s mostly about time.
Some nights I only have 20 minutes to get a meal on the table, and while I love my crockpot, I don’t want to eat crockpot meals every night.
Since the product is no longer available, I have removed a bunch of information about it. I have instead redone the recipe to help you make this from scratch and not using a storebought product to make.
To make your own Lemon Pepper Sauce, you will need:
- 2 tablespoons salted butter
- 2 teaspoons freshly grated lemon zest
- a couple of squeezes of lemon juice (about 2 teaspoons)
- 1/4 teaspoon cracked black pepper
Toss all those ingredients in the pan and cook until the butter is melted. After that, you can throw some chicken, pork, shrimp or fish in there and you’ll have a meal fit for a busy family, in just 20 minutes.
For these you’re going to throw in your chicken.

I really like the sauce to go in the wrap because I’ve had some wraps that were dry and not so good. I can see this being a part of a quick lunch too.
Nicole ~ These wraps looks amazing and something my family would love. Can’t wait to try them in our home!
I’ve come to realize that I need to make sandwiches for dinner more often. Also this looks incredible moist and yummy!
Love lemon pepper chicken. Yours looks delicious, Nicole!
I love the idea of making a mayo sauce with the saute starter. These wraps sound so good.
