Storage, reheating, freezing

  • Storage: Chicken lazone will keep for 2-3 days in your fridge.
  • Reheating: I reheat in a skillet. You may want to add an extra splash of cream or chicken stock to the pan when you warm it.
  • Freezing: Cream sauces generally don’t freeze well, as the cream tends to split. Fortunately, this is a quick recipe, so it’s easy to make for dinner.
  • Make-ahead: If you like to prep ahead, the spice mix can be made and stored in your pantry for several months.
