# Instructions:
01 -
Season the chicken strips with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken strips and cook for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
02 -
In the same skillet, cook minced garlic for 1 minute until fragrant. Add chicken broth, lemon juice, and white wine (if using), scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Simmer for 3-4 minutes to reduce the liquid slightly. Stir in butter until melted and well combined.
03 -
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and toss to coat in the sauce. Sprinkle chopped parsley over the chicken just before serving.
04 -
In a medium saucepan, combine rice, chicken broth, and minced garlic. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat and stir in grated Parmesan cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
05 -
Divide the garlic Parmesan rice among plates or bowls. Top with chicken scampi and spoon some of the sauce over the chicken and rice. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve immediately.
# Notes:
01 -
Ensure the skillet is deglazed properly to incorporate the flavors into the sauce.
