Chicken Scampi with Garlic Parmesan Rice is a flavorful dish featuring tender chicken sautéed in a buttery garlic sauce, served over creamy, cheesy rice.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into strips
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup long-grain white rice
  • 2 cups chicken broth (for rice)
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups chicken broth to a boil. Add rice, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 18-20 minutes or until tender.
  2. Once rice is cooked, stir in Parmesan cheese and keep warm.
  3. Meanwhile, season chicken strips with salt and pepper.
  4. Heat olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-6 minutes. Remove chicken and set aside.
  5. In the same skillet, add remaining butter, minced garlic, and red pepper flakes. Sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  6. Add chicken broth and lemon juice, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
  7. Return chicken to the skillet and toss to coat in the sauce. Simmer for 2-3 minutes.
  8. Serve the chicken over the garlic Parmesan rice, garnished with chopped parsley if desired.

Notes

  • Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes based on your spice preference.
  • Use freshly grated Parmesan for best flavor and texture.
  • Add a splash of cream to the rice for an extra creamy texture.
  • This dish pairs well with steamed vegetables or a side salad.
