Step 1

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium-high heat. Add the thinly sliced chicken breasts and cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side. Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 2

In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, until fragrant. Add the chicken broth, lemon juice, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook for 3-4 minutes, allowing the sauce to reduce slightly.

Step 3

Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and toss to coat with the sauce. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat through. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.

Step 4

For the Garlic Parmesan Rice, in a medium saucepan, bring the chicken broth to a boil. Add the rice and minced garlic, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for 18-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.

Step 5

Remove the rice from heat and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, butter, salt, and pepper. Mix until the cheese and butter are fully melted and combined.

Step 6

Serve the Chicken Scampi over the Garlic Parmesan Rice.
