Description

Instead of shrimp scampi try this chicken scampi for a nice change. It's quick, easy, delicious and is made in just one skillet.

Ingredients

• 1 lb. chicken tenders
• salt and pepper, to taste
• 1/2 t. garlic powder
• 2 T. olive oil
• 1 stick butter (1/2 c.)
• 2 T. freshly minced garlic
• 1/4 t. crushed red pepper flakes
• 1 1/2 t. salt, divided
• 1/2 c. dry white wine
• 1 1/2 c. uncooked white rice
• 3 c. chicken broth/stock
• 1/2 c. freshly grated Parmesan cheese
• freshly chopped parsley, if desired for garnish

Steps

1. Season chicken tenders with garlic powder and salt and pepper, to taste.
2. Heat olive oil over medium heat in a large non-stick skillet; sauté chicken until browned and just cooked through. Remove chicken from skillet; cover; set aside.
3. Add butter, garlic, red pepper flakes and 1/2 t. salt to the skillet; sauté garlic for 3 minutes, not letting the garlic burn or become too brown. Increase temperature to medium-high; add white wine; stir vigorously with a wooden spoon to emulsify the wine into the butter. Cook and stir for about 5 minutes or until mixture is reduced by half. Remove; set aside 2 T. pan sauce for later use.
