  • Chicken Scampi

    Oh my god, you guys. Last night I made this:

    Chicken Scampi

    INGREDIENTS:
    1/2 cup butter
    1/4 cup olive oil
    1 teaspoon dried parsley
    1 teaspoon dried basil
    1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
    3 cloves garlic, minced
    3/4 teaspoon salt
    1 tablespoon lemon juice
    4 boneless chicken breast halves, sliced lengthwise into thirds

    DIRECTIONS:
    1. In a skillet heat the butter or margarine and oil over medium high until the butter/margarine melts. Add the parsley, basil, oregano and garlic and salt and mix together in the skillet. Stir in lemon juice.

    2. Then add the chicken and saute for about 3 minutes or until white. Lower the heat and cook for about 10 to 15 minutes or until chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear. More butter/margarine can be added if needed.

    It was so freaking good! The second I set everything but the chicken on the stove, my friend and I were both like "mmmmmmmm!" It smelled phenomenal, right away. I will DEFINITELY be making this again (we made it with asparagus), and maybe next time with shrimp (Shrimp Scampi, yummy!) instead.

    Damn. I love this WOE.

    That sounds good. Was there alittle bit of sauce, because I'm guessing that sauce would be good if you had spaghetti squash or zucchini "noodles" as the veggie.

      Oh, there was plenty of excess sauce! We poured it over the chicken and asparagus - delicious!

          Your right...this was awesome! I made this tonight with shrimp instead of the chicken. Mmmmm!! The only variations I made was that I used all fresh herbs from the garden and used a touch of lemon zest. I saved the leftover liquid for veggies tommorrow! Thank you!
