Chicken Lazone
Description
This recipe involves seasoning boneless, skinless chicken breasts with a blend of smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper, which imbues the chicken with smoky, spicy, and herbaceous flavors. The chicken is browned in olive oil and butter until cooked through.
Meanwhile, linguine is cooked and then combined with a sauce made by sautéing garlic in butter and gradually whisking in half and half, allowing it to thicken slightly. This sauce coats the pasta and forms a creamy base for the chicken.
The dish is served immediately, garnished with fresh parsley, offering a balance of smoky chicken, creamy sauce, and pasta that works well for a satisfying main course.
Half and half used here can be substituted with homemade mixtures of milk and cream as noted in the recipe, providing flexibility based on dairy availability.
