Ingredients
  

Chicken Scampi
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts sliced into thin strips
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 0.5 cup chicken broth
  • 1 lemon juiced
  • 0.25 cup white wine optional
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley chopped, plus more for garnish
Garlic Parmesan Rice
  • 1 cup long-grain white rice
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese grated
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Equipment

  • Skillet
  • Saucepan

Method
 

  1. Season and sear chicken in a skillet until golden; set aside.
  2. In the same pan, sauté garlic, add broth, lemon juice, and wine; simmer.
  3. Stir in butter, return chicken, and coat in sauce.
  4. In a separate pot, cook rice with broth and garlic until tender.
  5. Stir Parmesan into rice, season, and serve topped with chicken and sauce.

Notes

For extra flavor, deglaze the skillet with the wine and scrape up all browned bits. You can substitute shrimp for chicken or skip the wine with more lemon juice.
