📋 Ingredients:
- 🍗 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 🌿 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 🌿 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 🌶️ 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 🌿 1 teaspoon paprika
- 🧂 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 🌶️ 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 🧈 1/4 cup unsalted butter, divided
- 🥛 1 cup heavy cream
- 🌿 Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- 🍋 Optional: Lemon wedges for serving
📝 Directions:
Season the Chicken:
- In a small bowl, combine the garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
- Sprinkle the spice mixture evenly over both sides of the chicken breasts, pressing gently to adhere.
Cook the Chicken:
- In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat.
- Add the seasoned chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Make the Sauce:
- In the same skillet, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and allow it to melt.
- Pour in the heavy cream, stirring to combine with the butter and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
- Reduce the heat to medium and let the sauce simmer for about 5 minutes, or until it thickens slightly.
Combine and Serve:
- Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet, coating them with the creamy sauce.
- Simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat the chicken through.
- Serve the Chicken Lazone over pasta or rice, spooning the sauce over the top. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and lemon wedges, if desired.
