Introduction
A delicious twist on classic chicken scampi, featuring tender seasoned chicken breast served over a rich garlic parmesan rice cooked directly in the flavorful scampi pan juices.
Step 1
Season the chicken breast strips with garlic powder, adobo seasoning, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly by hand to coat all pieces evenly.
Step 2
Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Sear the chicken strips in batches until fully cooked and browned on both sides, then remove and set aside in a bowl.
Step 3
In the same pan, melt the stick of butter and add the chopped garlic. Sauté for 2-3 minutes, being careful not to let the garlic burn.
Step 4
Add the white wine and lemon juice to the pan, whisking to combine. Turn the heat up to medium-high and simmer for about 5 minutes until the liquid reduces by half. Season with a pinch of salt.
Step 5
Reserve about 2 tablespoons of this garlic-butter-wine mixture in a small container and set it aside for drizzling later.

Important Notes
Washing and rinsing the rice beforehand is crucial to remove excess starch and prevent the rice from becoming gummy.
Watch the garlic closely while sautéing; if it burns, it will impart a bitter taste to the entire dish.
Stir the rice periodically during the simmer phase to ensure even cooking and prevent the bottom from burning.
