    three chicken tenders in a mushroom sauce over spaghetti

    This Chicken Lazone is a quick and easy 20 minute recipe simply made with sautéd chicken tenders in a creamy sauce featuring garlic powder, onion powder and chili powder. Added mushrooms make it even that more scrumptious!

    Have you ever heard of Chicken Lazone? I certainly had not.  It is originally from the restaurant in New Orleans called “Brennan’s”.  It is so simple but a incredibly delicious meal that turns plain chicken into something special!

    It requires such simple ingredients that you would never think to would create the flavor it does. It’s a creamy chicken dinner that my whole family is thrilled over when they see this on the menu for the week..

    I changed things up a little bit.  The recipe called for heavy cream and I really didn’t want to use that myself.  So I simply used 2 cups of fat free milk and 2 tablespoons of corn starch to thicken the sauce. It worked just a good! You could even add a dish of white wine if you’d like.

    Ingredients needed:

    2 lb chicken tenders

    8 oz of white mushrooms, sliced

    2 tablespoon olive oil

    1 small onion, chopped

    2 cloves garlic, minced

    1 ½ teaspoon chili powder

    2 teaspoon garlic powder

    1 ½ teaspoon onion powder

    ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper

    ¼ cup butter or coconut oil

    2 cups milk

    2 tablespoons of corn starch or flour

    Salt and Pepper to taste

    three chicken tenders in a mushroom sauce over spaghetti

    How to Make Chicken Lazone

    In a large skillet, saute the mushrooms, onions and garlic in olive oil over medium heat until tender.

    Combine salt, chili powder, onion powder, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper. Sprinkle over both sides of chicken tenders.

    In large saute pan, melt butter over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken tenders for about 4 minutes on each side until no longer pink in the middle

    Mix the corn starch (or flour) with cold milk in a bowl.

    Pour the milk mixture into the skillet.

    Add the mushrooms and onions.

    Substitutions/Variations

    Use dhicken thighs or skinless chicken breasts if desired.

    Leave out the mushrooms if preferred.

    Substitute butter for ¼ cup coconut oil.

    Use different types of pasta, like bow-tie pasta, angel hair pasta,

    Use 2 cups of heavy cream instead of milk and corn starch mixture.

    Add a vegetable like spinach, broccoli or asparagus.

      Great recipe!. We had never tried this before. Made 7 chicken tenders from 2 chicken breasts. Added a tsp of smoked paparika and a tbl of cornstarch to the dry rub. Also added 1/4 cup white wine to the sauce. Used just one pan chicken first cooked 3/4 then removed then mushrooms mix then sauce.using 2 cups half and half. Finished chicken in sauce served over liquini with parsley and EVO.
      Thanks for the inspiration!
      YUM!
