Maybe take the lemon juice out and trade the 1 cup heavy cream for sour cream instead? It would still have a little zing, but not as much.

Very easy to put together and the sauce is indeed delicious! I used lite mayo and cream cheese to cut down the fat content, this may have made the sauce a little runnier than it should have been, but as Id steamed some cauliflower as an extra vegetable the sauce came in very handy. My husbands comment was "If you look away, I can lick my plate" lol Thanks for posting.

Wow! This casserole was delicious. The sauce is amazing! I used chicken thighs (prefer them to dark meat) and my 8 yr old really enjoyed. What caught my eye is not having to pre-cook the chicken which saves time! A definite repeat worthy recipe. Thanks for posting!
