Chicken Lazone Recipe
Description
Chicken breast pieces are cut thin for quick and even cooking, then dredged in a spice blend containing cornstarch, smoked paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. They are pan-fried in olive oil and butter to develop a browned crust. After removing the chicken, garlic is cooked briefly in the pan, followed by the addition of the remaining spices and heavy cream. The sauce simmers until it thickens slightly and the chicken is returned to warm through.
The texture highlights the crispy, spiced chicken contrasted by the velvety, mildly spiced cream sauce. The paprika provides a smoky depth while the garlic and Italian seasoning contribute aromatic notes.
This main dish suits a meal served with sides like rice, vegetables, or a light salad, complementing the richness of the sauce and chicken.
Ingredients
- 2 chicken breast cut in half lengthwise (so you have 4 thin pieces
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 3 cloves garlic finely minced
- 1 ¾ cups heavy cream whipping cream
Spice Blend
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ½ teaspoon salt sea salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper sea salt
Instructions
- Mix the spice blend in a shallow bowl.
- Heat the olive oil and butter in a large, high-sided frying pan over medium-high heat.
- Dredge the chicken in the spice blend then place it into the frying pan. Reserve any remaining spices. Cook the chicken until golden brown, about 5 minutes per side. Reduce the heat to medium if the chicken is browning too quickly. Remove the chicken from the pan.
- Add the garlic and let it cook for 1 minute. Add any remaining spice blend to the pan and mix it into the garlic. Add the cream and scrape the bottom of the pan to remove any bits that are stuck on.
- Put the chicken and any accumulated juices back into the pan. Bring the pan to a boil then reduce the heat and simmer for 3-4 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the cream begins to thicken.
