Chicken Scampi with Garlic Parmesan Rice
Do you know that scammers are the real thing? I did not do! I did a little research before writing this recipe and found out that shrimp with garlic sauce is not just a way to make garlic shrimp, but it’s actually the original crustacean used in a popular dish (hence the name)!
WHO KNOW ?!
Scampi, which is actually the Italian scampo plural, is a very small lobster, also called the Dublin Bay prawns or Norwegian lobster found in the Mediterranean and northeast Atlantic from North Africa to Norway and Iceland.
Ingredients
1 lb. chicken tenderloins
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons minced garlic*
1 stick butter (1/2 cup)
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 1/2 teaspoons salt, divided
1 1/2 cups uncooked white rice
3 cups chicken broth
1/2 cup fresh grated parmesan cheese
INSTRUCTIONS:
- Season chicken with salt and pepper to taste and garlic powder. Heat olive oil over medium heat in a large nonstick skillet. Sauté chicken tenderloins until nicely browned and just cooked through. Remove chicken from skillet, cover chicken then set aside.
- 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).
- 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.
- Add rice to skillet with remaining butter sauce 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. 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.
- 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.
