Chicken Scampi Pasta [0001052]

Ingredients:

8 ounces gluten-free spaghetti or pasta of your choice
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup white wine (gluten-free)
Juice of 1 lemon
Zest of 1 lemon
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions:

Cook the gluten-free spaghetti or pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Season the bite-sized chicken pieces with salt and black pepper.

In a large skillet or frying pan, melt 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter over medium-high heat.

Add the chicken pieces to the hot skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through and golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.

In the same skillet, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter and minced garlic. Sauté for about 1-2 minutes, or until the garlic becomes fragrant.

Pour in the white wine, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Stir to combine and let the mixture simmer for 2-3 minutes, allowing the alcohol to cook off.

Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and stir to coat it with the lemon and garlic sauce.

Add the cooked gluten-free pasta to the skillet and toss to combine, ensuring the pasta is coated with the flavorful sauce.

Remove the skillet from the heat and garnish with chopped fresh parsley.

Serve your Chicken Scampi Pasta hot, and enjoy the zesty, gluten-free flavors of this classic Italian-inspired dish!
