HOW TO MAKE CHICKEN LAZONE
In just a few words, there are zero fancy things going on here. It’s just seasoned chicken breast tenders cooked in butter, and topped with a simple cream sauce. Plus zoodles – you can get those precut at Whole Foods, Target, Walmart, etc…
- Season chicken tenders with my favorites; salt, pepper, paprika, chili powder, garlic powder, and Italian Seasoning.
- Melt some butter in a large skillet and add chicken tenders.
- Cook chicken for about 4 to 5 minutes per side, or until cooked through and browned; remove from skillet and set aside.
- Add zucchini noodles to the skillet and cook for 2 minutes, or until just tender. Remove from skillet and set aside.
- Melt remaining butter in the skillet and add garlic.
- Whisk in heavy cream and, while whisking, scrape up the browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
- Simmer and stir often until sauce is reduced and thickened – about 3 minutes. Taste for salt and pepper and adjust accordingly.
- Return chicken and zucchini to skillet; cook for 1 minute just to heat through.
- Garnish with parsley and serve.
That’s IT! Add some mushrooms if you like, or a green salad on the side, and this silky smooth Chicken Lazone with Zucchini Noodles is suddenly looking like a hot new dinner item!

Made this for dinner last evening. It was absolutely delicious!! I thought the seasonings would be too heavy, but I stuck it out and was not sorry! Such good flavor carried through to the cream sauce. I added 1 Tablespoon cream cheese to the sauce to help thicken it and sprinkled fresh grated parmesan cheese over the finished plate. I use a Spiralizer to make my own zoodles, and the freshness really pays off.
This needs to be added to our weeknight dinner rotation!
