Chicken Scampi with Garlic Parmesan Rice
Ingredients:

For the Chicken Scampi:

  1. 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, thinly sliced
  2. 2 tablespoons olive oil
  3. 1 tablespoon butter
  4. 4 cloves garlic, minced
  5. 1/2 cup chicken broth
  6. 1/4 cup lemon juice
  7. 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  8. Salt and pepper to taste
  9. Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

For the Garlic Parmesan Rice:

  1. 1 cup long-grain white rice
  2. 2 cups chicken broth
  3. 3 cloves garlic, minced
  4. 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  5. 1 tablespoon butter
  6. Salt and pepper to taste
INSTRUCTIONS:
  1. Season chicken tenders with salt, pepper and garlic powder. Heat olive oil over medium heat in a large nonstick skillet. Sauté chicken tenders until nicely browned and just cooked through. Remove chicken from skillet, cover chicken then set aside.
  2. Add butter, garlic, pepper flakes and 1/2 teaspoon of salt to the skillet then sauté garlic for 3 minutes (do not let the garlic burn or become too brown).
  3. Increase skillet temperature to medium-high then add white wine. Stir vigorously with a wooden spoon to emulsify the wine into the butter. Cook and stir for approximately 5 minutes or until mixture is reduced by half. Remove and set aside 2 tablespoons of pan sauce to use later.
  4. Add rice to skillet then stir and cook for 3-4 minutes or until rice starts to brown just a little. Add chicken broth and remaining 1 teaspoon of salt.
  5. Bring mixture to a low boil then reduce heat to medium-low, cover pan then cook for 20 minutes or until rice is tender. Stir once or twice the first 15 minutes of cooking but not more than that.
  6. Sprinkle parmesan over rice then arrange chicken tenders in skillet over rice. Drizzle reserved 2 tablespoons of pan sauce over chicken tenders. Cover, remove from heat then let stand for 5 minutes. Garnish dish with more parmesan and chopped fresh parsley if desired
