I have a love-hate relationship with dinner. Some nights, I want to go full-on Julia Child mode, carefully crafting a gourmet masterpiece. Other nights? I stare into my fridge like it’s a magic 8-ball, hoping something edible will appear.

That’s exactly how I stumbled onto Chicken Lazone.

One night, I had a pack of chicken tenders and not much else. I considered takeout, but my wallet was already giving me side-eye. So, I did what every desperate home cook does—I started throwing spices around like I was on a cooking show, browned the chicken in way too much butter, and dumped in some cream because… well, why not?

The result? A creamy, spicy, ridiculously good dish that tasted like something from a fancy restaurant—but took me 20 minutes in my sweatpants. My family inhaled it. I barely got a plate. And just like that, Chicken Lazone became a staple in my kitchen.

Chicken Lazone is proof that simple ingredients can make something incredible. Here’s why they work so well together:

  • Onion Powder & Garlic Powder – Adds depth without chopping extra ingredients.
  • Unsalted Butter – The secret to making the sauce rich and silky.
  • Heavy Cream – Turns everything into a velvety, indulgent masterpiece.

Pro Tip: Want to take this to another level? Stir in a handful of Parmesan at the end for extra umami and richness.

  • Melt half the butter in a large pan over medium-high heat.
  • Add the chicken and cook for about 8 minutes, flipping halfway through. You want that nice golden sear.

Step 3: Make the Sauce

  • Lower the heat to medium-low.
  • Pour in the heavy cream and stir in the remaining butter.
  • Let it simmer for 5-7 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the chicken beautifully.

Step 4: Serve & Enjoy

  • Plate the chicken and drizzle that velvety sauce all over.
  • Serve with pasta, mashed potatoes, or crusty bread because, trust me, you need something to soak up the sauce.

Storage Options:

  • Fridge: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
  • Freezer: Chicken freezes well, but the sauce might separate, so it’s best enjoyed fresh.
  • Reheat: Warm in a pan over low heat with a splash of cream or broth to bring the sauce back to life.

Avoid microwaving if possible. It makes the chicken rubbery, and nobody wants that.

Variations and Substitutions:

Want to put your own spin on Chicken Lazone? Here are some easy tweaks:

  • Make it spicier. Add extra cayenne or a dash of hot sauce.
  • Try a different protein. Shrimp, salmon, or pork chops would work great.
  • Lighten it up. Swap heavy cream for half-and-half (but expect a thinner sauce).
  • Throw in some veggies. Mushrooms, spinach, or bell peppers add color and flavor.
  • Add cheese. Parmesan or shredded cheddar takes the sauce up a notch.
