Chicken Scampi

 

Chicken Scampi

2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into 1 inch cubes or strips

1/2 cup or so of Italian bread crumbs

1/4 cup shredded parmesan cheese

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon paprika

1/2 teaspoon pepper

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 stick butter, cut into small pieces

1/4 cup olive oil

5-6 cloves of garlic cloves, crushed

Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees. Cut up chicken and put into a large ziplock bag. Add in the breadcrumbs, cheese, salt, pepper, paprika and garlic powder. Shake to coat all the pieces. In a 9 X 13  pan, add olive oil and butter pieces. Add in crushed garlic. Put into oven until the butter melts. Remove and add in chicken in one layer. Bake for 3o  min. or until the chicken is done. Serve with linguine or pasta of choice. The oil and butter become the “sauce” used. You can always add more olive oil to the pasta. I served mine with black olives and artichokes.
