Roasted Chicken Scampi

SERVES: 4

COOK TIME: 20 Min

Move over, shrimp scampi! There's a new scampi in town that's winning over hearts and taste buds: Roasted Chicken Scampi! Don't forget the garlic bread -- it's great for sopping up all that extra sauce.

What You'll Need

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (1-1/2 pounds)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon chopped parsley
1 teaspoon chopped fresh dill
Juice of 1 lemon

What to Do

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Coat a 9- x 13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
Sprinkle chicken breasts with salt and pepper, and place in prepared baking dish.
Melt butter in a saucepan over low heat. Add garlic, parsley, and dill; mix well. Pour mixture over chicken.
Bake 15 to 20 minutes, or until no pink remains in chicken. Drizzle lemon juice over chicken, and serve.

Notes

Serve over a bed of linguine. And for an extra-special touch, our All Wrapped Up Garlic Bread would make a perfect companion -- it's great for sopping up all that extra lemon-garlic sauce.

Of course you can use thighs. Skinless, boneless thighs would be a comparable for cooking time. I am not sure what happened with the sauce, some people prefer more than others. Thank you for your comments and happy Paczki Day to you too!

This is BY FAR, my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE Mr. Food recipe. Perfect served over brown rice. I've also made it with 'browned' white rice. YUM YUM YUM!!!
