10 -
Fresh parsley, diced, for topping
11 -
25g Parmesan cheese, shredded
12 -
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
13 -
480ml chicken broth
14 -
200g long white rice
# Directions:
01 -
Add salt and pepper to the sliced chicken, giving it an even coating.
02 -
Warm up olive oil in a big frying pan over medium heat. Place the seasoned chicken strips in the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until they're golden brown and fully done.
03 -
Take the cooked chicken out of the pan and keep it aside for later.
04 -
Throw the minced garlic into the same pan and sauté for about a minute until you smell it.
05 -
Pour in the chicken broth, wine (if you're using it), and lemon juice. Scrape the bottom of the pan to mix in the flavorful bits.
06 -
Let it simmer for 3-4 minutes so the sauce thickens just a bit.
07 -
Mix in butter and stir until it's melted and smooth.
08 -
Put the cooked chicken back in the pan, stirring so it gets covered in the sauce.
09 -
Right before serving, sprinkle the parsley over the chicken.
10 -
In a saucepan, mix rice, garlic, and chicken broth. Bring it to a boil at high heat, then turn down the heat to low.
11 -
Put the lid on and let it cook for 15-20 minutes, until all the liquid's absorbed, and the rice is soft.
12 -
Take the rice off the heat, mix in Parmesan cheese, and season with salt and pepper to your liking.
13 -
Scoop some rice onto each plate or bowl. Lay the chicken scampi over the rice and drizzle on some sauce. Toss on a bit of parsley and enjoy!
# Notes:
01 -
Cut your chicken in same-sized pieces so they cook evenly.
