Ingredients

– 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
– 4 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 cup chicken broth
– 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
– 1 cup heavy cream

– 2 cups cooked rice (preferably long-grain)

Instructions

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

1. Cook the Rice: Prepare the rice according to package instructions. Set aside when done.
2. Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
3. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
4. Cook the Chicken: Add the chicken to the skillet and cook for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
5. Make the Sauce: In the same skillet, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
6. Add Broth and Cream: Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream, stirring to combine. Bring to a simmer.
7. Add Cheese: Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and the sauce is creamy.
8. Season the Sauce: Add red pepper flakes if desired, and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
9. Return Chicken: Place the cooked chicken back into the skillet, coating it with the sauce. Let it simmer for a few minutes to absorb the flavors.
10. Combine with Rice: Fluff the cooked rice with a fork and gently stir it into the skillet to combine.
11. Serve: Plate the Chicken Scampi with Garlic Parmesan Rice and garnish with chopped parsley for a fresh touch.
