Indulge in the creamy, spice-kissed decadence of Chicken Lazone, a one-pan dinner that's as easy as it is luxurious. Perfectly seasoned chicken breasts, coated in a bold blend of garlic powder, paprika, and a hint of cayenne, are pan-seared to golden perfection before being nestled in a velvety butter and heavy cream sauce. This quick 30-minute dish is a flavor-packed fusion of Cajun-inspired spices and rich, buttery indulgence, making it an irresistible choice for weeknight dinners or special occasions. Pair this saucy delight with pasta, rice, or roasted vegetables for a meal that's guaranteed to impress.
Place the chicken breasts on a cutting board and pound them to an even thickness using a meat mallet. This ensures even cooking.
In a small bowl, combine garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create the spice rub.
Generously season both sides of the chicken breasts with the spice rub.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 3 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
Place the seasoned chicken breasts in the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and fully cooked. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Lower the heat to medium-low and add the remaining 3 tablespoons of butter to the skillet. Allow it to melt.
Pour in the heavy cream and deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits with a wooden spoon to enhance the sauce flavor.
Simmer the sauce for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly.
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the sauce over them to coat. Cook for another 2-3 minutes to heat through.
Serve the Chicken Lazone hot with the sauce drizzled over the top. Pair with pasta, rice, or vegetables as desired.
