Chicken lazone

Have you ever heard of chicken lazone before? We've been making this recipe for years after first meeting its acquaintance over at Plain Chicken.

It's a creamy chicken recipe that should really change its name to Chicken la Freaking Delicious. The subtle flavors, creamy sauce, and tender meat make it near impossible not to love.

There seem to be nearly zero variations of this recipe out there. Probably because there really are only a couple of ingredients and only one method of prepping this super simple dish.

How to make chicken lazone

This whole chicken lazone thing is basically a few spices seared onto chicken then a bunch of cream poured into the pan to create a rich sauce.

  1. Season chicken breasts with some spices mixed with a little cornstarch, which creates a delicious coating on the chicken.
  2. Sear the chicken until nice and golden brown then take it out of the pan.
  3. Quickly saute some garlic in the same pan then pour in the cream.
  4. Now add the chicken back to the pan and let it simmer for a couple of minutes to finish cooking and thicken the sauce.

How long does chicken lazone last?

Chicken lazone will keep for 2-3 days in your fridge. You may want to add an extra splash of cream or chicken stock to the pan when you warm it.

Can I freeze chicken lazone?

Cream sauces generally don't do well in the freezer as the cream has a tendency to split. Luckily, this is a very quick recipe to make so it's easy to make for dinner.

If you like to prep ahead, the spice mix can be made and stored in your pantry for several months.
