How to Make Chicken With Shrimp Scampi

  1. In a shallow dish, combine 1/2 cup flour, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Dredge chicken breasts in the flour mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated. Reserve 2 teaspoons of the flour mixture.
  2. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken breasts and cook for 6-7 minutes per side, or until cooked through and golden brown.
  3. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside, keeping warm.
  4. Add remaining 2 tablespoons of butter to the skillet. Add chopped onion and sauté for 1 minute until softened.
  5. Add minced garlic and sauté for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
  6. Stir in the reserved 2 teaspoons of flour mixture and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
  7. Gradually whisk in 1/2 cup milk, cooking and stirring until the sauce comes to a simmer and thickens slightly.
  8. Add shrimp, Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, and red pepper flakes (if using).
  9. Simmer for 3-4 minutes, or until shrimp are pink and cooked through.
  10. Place chicken breasts on a serving plate and spoon the scampi sauce generously over the chicken. Serve immediately and enjoy!
