Spicy Chicken Lazone Pasta (Recipe 134 of 125)

I was not thrilled with this recipe. The "cream" sauce was, dare I say, too creamy. I felt like the sauce should have started with mixing chicken stock first, and then cream. 

Even with the seasoning mixed into the cream sauce, it just lacked flavor, and heat. I added some dashes of hot sauce - could have added more. 

All in all, this one will be deleted. 

Spicy Chicken Lazone Pasta
Recipe from Whatsinthepan.com

Serves 4

Seasoning Mixture:

• 1 tsp sea salt
• 2 tsp Creole seasoning (or Cajun seasoning)
• 2 tsp paprika powder
• 1 tsp onion powder
• 2 tsp garlic powder
• 1/4 c all purpose flour

Chicken:

• 1 T olive oil
• 1 T butter
• 1 lb chicken tenders

Sauce:

• 4 T butter
• Remaining seasoning mixture
• 2 c heavy cream
• 1 tsp paprika

In a small bowl, combine salt, Creole seasoning, paprika powder, onion powder, garlic powder, and flour. Dredge the chicken in the seasoning mixture and shake off excess. Reserve any leftover spice/flour mix for the sauce.

Preheat large saute pan, add olive oil and melt butter over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken tenders until done, about 8 minutes (3-4 minutes per each side). Remove from the pan.

Add 4 tablespoons of butter to the empty skillet and add remaining seasoning mixture into the butter until cook it until flour is no longer raw. Add more paprika and heavy cream into the skillet. Bring to a boiling point.

Lower heat and simmer 3-4 minutes. Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning to your liking.

Serve with sauce spooned over chicken and pasta, and sprinkled with chopped parsley.
