Creating Chicken Scampi with Garlic Parmesan Rice is easy if you follow these simple steps:

1. Cook the Rice: Start by cooking the rice according to package instructions. Set aside once done.
2. Sauté Chicken: In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken pieces and season with salt and pepper. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
3. Sauté Garlic: In the same skillet, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes (if using) and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
4. Add Broth and Cream: Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
5. Incorporate Cheese: Gradually add the grated parmesan cheese, whisking until melted and creamy. Adjust seasoning with salt, pepper, and lemon juice to taste.
6. Combine Chicken and Rice: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, stirring to coat in the sauce. Add the cooked rice, mixing well to combine everything.
7. Heat Through: Allow the mixture to heat through for an additional 2-3 minutes.
8. Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve immediately.
