Chicken Scampi

Melissa Ward's Note:

Heavenly recipe with chicken and garlic. It is really delicious and I got the recipe from a friend I used to teach preschool with.

• Total Time: 30 mins
• Prep Time: 10 mins
• Cook Time: 20 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 3

• 3 -4 chicken breasts , cut into pieces
• ¼ cup olive oil
• ½ cup butter
• 2 teaspoons minced garlic
• ½ cup chopped green onion
• 1 teaspoon italian seasoning
• ½ teaspoon salt
• pepper
• 4 roma tomatoes (cut into 1 inch pieces)
• rice or noodles , enough for about 3 people

Directions:

1. Put olive oil and butter in skillet on low heat.
2. Add the green onions and minced garlic and saute.
3. Add Italian seasoning, salt and pepper.
4. Put chicken that has been cut into pieces in the skillet with the garlic onion and seasonings.
5. Heat until chicken is no longer pink.
6. I usually let the chicken sit with the other ingredients in the skillet for a few moments on low just to get the seasoning set in really well.
7. I then put the tomatoes in to just heat through.
8. I serve with the rice or noodles.

This is delicious. I love scampis but my husband hates seafood so much that he can't even stand for it to be on my breath. This way I get something close to real scampi and he gets to see why I love them so much. I think we would make this once a week (except for the amount of butter). Cudos to the chef!!

this was quite good for a quick supper, I just added some parmesan cheese on top before serving. In the summer, i make a similar dish adding fresh basil and chunks of buffalo mozzarella right before serving. YUM!

My wife, mother-in-law, and daughter said this was delicious. I was even told that I am a good cook. How about that?! I enjoyed this and was impressed that I was able to pull this off. I followed directions like my life depended on it. Easy and quick to make. Thank you for the recipe. Vuki. ps. crunchy chow mein noodles go good with this.
