Creamy Cajun Chicken Lazone
Ingredients:
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
Salt and pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons butter
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup chicken broth
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Directions:
In a small bowl, mix together the smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, thyme, oregano, salt, and pepper. Coat the chicken breasts evenly with the spice mixture.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 5-6 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the butter. Once melted, add the heavy cream and chicken broth, stirring to combine. Let the sauce simmer for 3-4 minutes, until slightly thickened.
Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet, coating them in the creamy sauce. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat through.
Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
