How to make my Chicken Lazone Recipe
What do you need to make Chicken Lazone at home?
Chicken: I used chicken breasts for this recipe. I happen to have two large ones, so I just sliced them in half lengthwise. You could also use 4 small chicken breasts. However, the cooking time may vary a little bit. Both boneless skinless chicken thighs and tenders would also work for this recipe.Seasonings: This recipe is heavy on the spice mixture! You’ll need garlic powder, onion powder, dried basil, Italian seasoning, chili powder, white pepper, and the most important one of them all – creole or cajun seasoning. I suggest using low sodium seasonings so that you can control how salty you want your sauce to be.All-purpose flour: We’ll use a bit of all-purpose flour to coat the chicken breasts before panfrying them.Butter + Oil: A combination of oil and butter is used to pan fry the chicken and to make the sauce. Because cajun/creole seasonings typically contain quite a bit of salt, I suggest using unsalted butter for this recipe.Half and Half: I like to use half and half when I’m making chicken Lazone so that the sauce thickens nicely but still has a consistency where you can serve it with pasta! Both heavy cream and canned coconut milk would work here as well.Chopped Parsley: Just a pinch or two to finish the dish!
