2 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons butter

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 small red bell pepper, thinly sliced

1 small yellow bell pepper, thinly sliced

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

For the Garlic Parmesan Rice:

步驟

Prepare the Garlic Parmesan Rice:

In a medium saucepan, melt 1 tablespoon butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant. Stir in the rice and toast it for 1-2 minutes.

Simmer the Rice:

Add chicken broth to the pan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 18-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and liquid is absorbed.

Finish the Rice:

Remove the pot from heat. Stir in grated Parmesan cheese and season with salt and pepper to taste. Keep covered and set aside.

Cook the Chicken:

While the rice cooks, heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken strips and season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.

Cook for about 4-5 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.

Add Garlic and Peppers:

Add the minced garlic, red and yellow bell peppers, and red pepper flakes (if using) to the skillet. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until the peppers are softened and garlic is fragrant.

Finish the Scampi:

Squeeze in the lemon juice and toss everything together.

Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

Serve:

Spoon the garlic Parmesan rice onto plates and top with the chicken scampi mixture. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and extra Parmesan if desired. Serve hot! #comfortfood #dinner #fypage #typ #chickenrecipe #scampi #garlic #rice #parmesan #Dinnerldeas #chicken #fypage #fyp
