In a small bowl, combine sea salt, Creole seasoning, paprika powder, onion powder, garlic powder, and all-purpose flour. Use this mixture to dredge the chicken tenders, shaking off any excess. Set aside the leftover seasoning mixture for the sauce.

In the same skillet, add 4 tablespoons of butter and the remaining seasoning mixture.

Tips for the Perfect Spicy Chicken Lazone
- Adjust the Heat: While the recipe calls for Creole seasoning, you can easily dial the spice up or down. For more heat, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to your seasoning blend. For less, reduce the amount of Creole seasoning and adjust with more paprika.
- Pasta Perfection: While linguine is fantastic, feel free to experiment with other pasta shapes like fettuccine, penne, or rigatoni. Each will hold the creamy sauce beautifully.
- Serving Suggestions: This hearty linguine with chicken dish is a meal in itself. Serve it with a simple side salad tossed with a light vinaigrette or some crusty garlic bread to soak up every last drop of that incredible sauce. It’s also surprisingly versatile; consider adding sautéed bell peppers or spinach for extra veggies!
