Chicken Scampi recipe

Chicken Scampi is a delicious dish featuring tender chicken cooked with a flavorful garlic butter sauce. Here’s a simple recipe for you to try:

Ingredients:

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, thinly sliced
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 4 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/2 cup chicken broth
• 1/2 cup white wine (optional)
• Juice of 1 lemon
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
• Cooked pasta or crusty bread, for serving

Instructions:

1. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then dredge them in flour, shaking off any excess.
2. In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
3. In the same skillet, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil and the butter. Once the butter is melted, add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.
4. Pour in the chicken broth and white wine (if using), scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Let the sauce simmer for 2-3 minutes to reduce slightly.
5. Return the chicken to the skillet, and add the lemon juice and chopped parsley. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together and the chicken to heat through.
6. Serve the chicken scampi over cooked pasta or with crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce. Garnish with additional parsley, if desired.
