Chicken Lazone is a creamy, flavorful dish that originated in the South. It’s made with simple spices and served with a luscious cream sauce that just melts in your mouth. This dish is perfect for a cozy family dinner, and it’s sure to impress with its delightful flavors and easy preparation.
Chicken Lazone pairs wonderfully with a variety of sides. For a comforting meal, you can serve it over a bed of buttery pasta or fluffy rice. A side of steamed vegetables such as green beans or asparagus complements the richness of the sauce nicely. If you’re looking to keep things light, a crisp green salad works beautifully too.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 lbs chicken breast, sliced into strips
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 cup heavy cream
Directions
- In a small bowl, mix together the garlic powder, chili powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Sprinkle the seasoning mix evenly over the chicken strips.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken strips and cook until they are golden brown on all sides and cooked through, about 8 minutes.
- Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the butter and melt over medium heat.
- Stir in the heavy cream and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the sauce thickens, about 5 minutes.
- Return the chicken to the skillet and coat with the cream sauce. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to reheat the chicken.
- Serve hot with your choice of side.
Variations & Tips
For those handling different dietary needs or preferences, the dish can be adapted. Try coconut cream instead of heavy cream for a dairy-free version. If you’re looking to add a little more kick, a dash of cayenne pepper in the seasoning mix does the trick. For families with kids who are not fans of spicy food, reduce or omit the chili powder.
