Chicken Scampi With Linguine
- 2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 egg, beaten
- 3/4 cup Italian seasoned breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup parmesan cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1 lb linguine
- 1/2 cup butter
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- lemon wedge
- Cut the chicken into bite size pieces. Dip the chicken in the beaten egg, then into the bread crumbs, which have been mixed with the grated cheese, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp pepper. Spread the coated chicken pieces on a rack or a platter. This can be done several hours ahead and refrigerated.
- Heat 1/2 cup oil in large skillet. Add 1/3 chicken pieces; saute until golden brown. Remove chicken with a slotted spoon, and repeat with remaining chicken. Discard oil from skillet, and wipe clean.
- Cook the pasta; add garlic salt to water for extra flavor while boiling. While the pasta is cooking, melt the 1/2 cup butter in the skillet. Add the garlic and cook 1 minute. Add the cooked chicken, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Toss to coat the chicken pieces with the sauce. Do not allow chicken to cook further.
- Drain the pasta, and toss the remaining 2 Tbsp butter; then spoon onto platter. Spoon chicken and sauce over pasta. Sprinkle with parsley and serve with lemon wedges. I like to use more lemon juice than the recipe calls for, but I love lemon!
