Chicken Lazone

This recipe for chicken lazone is one that I found on Pinterest, and then I tweaked it to make it more suitable to my taste.  This dish was a huge hit and it was even a success with my boyfriend, who is a very picky eater.  Not bad for trying out a new recipe!

Ingredients:

1 lb. of chicken breast or tenders  (boneless & skinless)
1/4 stick of butter
1/2 tbsp. chili powder
1/2 tbsp. garlic powder
1/4 tbsp. salt
Pinch of pepper
1/2 tsp. ground oregano(optional)

1/2 tsp. red pepper flakes (optional)  
1/3 cup of heavy cream
1/2 lb. of pasta (I chose to use linguine - you can choose whatever noodle style you like)

 Instructions:

Add half of the butter to a pan and bring to medium heat. Meanwhile, cut the chicken into strips. Then put the chili powder, garlic powder, salt and pepper into a bowl, and toss the chicken pieces into the spices to cover them. Now, add the chicken to the pan, and cook for about four minutes on each side. When the chicken is cooked, take it out of the pan and set it aside. Then turn the heat down a bit, and add the rest of the butter to the same pan you cooked the chicken in. Once melted, add the heavy cream. Let this simmer while you boil the pasta. The cream sauce should simmer for about seven to ten minutes, and you should stir it occasionally. The cream and butter will mix with the spices that were on the chicken, and make a simple but creamy sauce. When the pasta is done, pour some of the cream sauce over it, add the chicken, and then garnish with a bit of extra oregano and red pepper flakes if you'd like.

Enjoy!
