Chicken Scampi on a Bed of Angel Hair Pasta

Today I craved Chicken Scampi with Angel Hair Pasta. This is a delicious and quick dish. It takes less than thirty minutes to make.






1. Dice two pieces of boneless chicken cutlets.



2. Chop 1 1/2 large onions, 4 garlic cloves, 2 teaspoons of lemon



3. In a hot skillet, add 2 table spoons of butter (or a substitute of your liking), 4 large spoonfuls of olive oil and saute the onions and garlic for approximately 3-4 minutes. Do not let it brown.



 4. Add the chicken, a tablespoon of salt and 1 tablespoon of black pepper.

 5. Then add 2 teaspoons of lemon and stir. Cover for 15-20 minutes.

6. Boil 3 quarts of water. Add salt to your liking and a teaspoon of olive oil to prevent the noodles from sticking to each other.
Cook the pasta 5 minutes before the chicken is fully cooked.
Use a whole package of Angel Hair Pasta for this recipe. You will have enough to feed 6-8 people or store leftovers for a couple of days. 

                           

7. Drain the pasta. Do not blanch, keep the pasta hot.

                                          

8. Empty pasta back in the pot or in a large bowl.

9. Mix the chicken and the pasta if you like, or you can serve the chicken on a bed of Angel Hair Pasta.

10. Sprinkle some parmesan cheese or grated imported sharp provolone. If you enjoy spicy foods, sprinkle some crushed red pepper.

Try it! It is delicious!

Let me know how it went!
