EASY Chicken Scampi




Source of Recipe


internet


List of Ingredients




1/4 to 1 lb butter
Fresh Garlic
Boneless chicken breast (quantity is measured by how much you want to make. 9 to 12 chicken breasts to make enough for a large group; 2 to 3 for a small family)
Italian bread crumbs



Recipe



In a saucepan, melt butter and cook slowly with as much garlic as you like (the more, the better). Refrigerate until ready to use. Wash chicken and cut up in bite-size pieces. Put chicken and bread crumbs in a bag and shake to coat. Lay chicken pieces out on a cook sheet. Warm the butter and garlic mixture.

Meanwhile put chicken in a 325ºF oven for about 20 to 30 minutes, turning the chicken once halfway through. Pour garlic and butter mixture over the top and bake for another 15 to 20 mintues. Serve.

**(I added a small amount of Sweet Vermouth to the butter mixture, but that is not in the original recipe. It really tastes great this way.)

A comment made by the person who posted this recipe said whenever she goes anywhere, it's the first thing requested. I can see why! WOW!!!

I served it over linguine noodles because that's what I happened to have, but I think I'd prefer bow-tie pasta. Whatever you use, it's an awesome recipe (you gotta love garlic).

If I was to use this as a take-along dish, I would make the butter mixture, and keep it separate from the chicken. Then, all you need to do is pour the mixture on the pre-baked chicken and bake it for the remainder of the time. I'm so glad I tried this recipe.
