Am really enjoying your recipe videos…thanks!

[@rafaelasanabria6560]

I most definitely will make this for my family. Great video. Thank you.

[@gregzerby7168]

It is wonderful. Have made this numerous times

[@MNTNSTARZ80.]

To my chicken scampi I add shallots, mushrooms, capers and occasionally some drained and rinsed artichokes

[@leightongalleries6057]

Not scampi.

[@mariaboletsis3188]

Beautiful job!

[@jayaudi1599]

My family loved this lighter version of chicken scampi. Even my 92 year old mom (who doesn't like white meat chicken) thought this was delicious and ate a large serving. The chicken was moist and bursting with flavor after being heated through in the divine garlic and wine pan sauce. I served it with sautéed eggplant and mint tossed with orecchietti pasta. The meal earned rave reviews from hubby. ATK recipes are always good!

[@kimberlyd9049]

Looks like another dish to add to my repertoire! Thank you!

[@genehammond7239]

Looks so good !!!

[@taraschmidheini4674]

Wonderful

[@kristaself126]

I made this recipe tonight. It was delicious.

[@christinemarino8960]

Looks delicious

[@auntlynnie]

I remove the tendon by the fork method. You remove much more of the tough tendon!

[@IngotAU]

Looks great! I'm gonna try this 👊💯

[@laurababcock3950]

Can’t wait to try the chicken scampi. I always order this at Olive Garden. Yummmmm

[@sheilaa7401]

Your chicken scampi recipe looks really easy to make. I think I'll have a crack at it. Thanks for all of your wonderful, helpful, and delicious recipes, God bless.😄🌹

[@marecee1054]

I just finished making this, the only thing I changed was adding panko bread crumbs to the chicken tenders which made them crunchy as opposed to crispy. Definitely a keeper!

[@jefflrfe]

Was very surprised not to see a lemon wedge being squeezed over it before serving - I think the citrus would be a nice counterpoint to the richness of the sauce.

[@idkidk8278]

YUMMMM!

[@Cinco-da-mayo]

Everything, except for the butter loathing at the end! delicious!

[@maryrichardson7029]

I have the same question as Susan. Why no lemon juice?

[@barbaracholak5204]

It's Ashley's recipe..

[@IngotAU]

@@sandrah7512 Lemon wedges would be the way to go!

[@johnlord8337]

Glad you used sweet red bell pepper. There needs to be a transition away from all green bell peppers to a medley of red, orange, and yellow bells. They are so much better for meals.

[@susananderson9619]

I thought there was a lil lemon juice in scampi, hmmm, guess not

[@patricks.4972]

At the end she mentions the acidity from the white wine.

[@leightongalleries6057]

Always optional. White wine is a better option.

[@WalterBurton]

"...It's because we added that flour and a LITTLE BIT of butter." Just a little bit. 🤣❤🤣

[@mspenny]

Hi!

[@leightongalleries6057]

Looks great, I'll add a bit of Chopolte sauce to the pan.

[@Gardengal-yd8sf]

This reminded me more of a picatta recipe then a scampi. I guess they are both similar.

[@noracharles80]

That looks amazing and simple. Thank you for another great recipe. Question: how do you avoid buying chicken breasts that do not have the woody breast issue? It’s so nasty.

[@ropro9817]

Olive Garden! Now there's a name I haven't heard since 1990! 😂 Is that still actually a thing?

[@bsweat9230]

Yes, and in NE Florida it still serves up a celebration at each meal.

[@DJL78]

It never was a “thing”. More like a tragic place to eat with the in-laws who have a fear of real Italian food.

[@juleswins3]

@@DJL78 😂🤣😂🤣

[@leightongalleries6057]

???? There are 900 of them. Need to get out more, or let someone else drive so you can look out a window.

[@IngotAU]

@@leightongalleries6057 Legitimate roast ✅

[@gregaclark2]

What's the deal with breading egg first?

[@twooldfartsinanrv7137]

Add Fettucine to this --- GOLDEN dinner

[@sandras.435]

The Olivie Garden in my area, the dish is served with red and green bell peppers along with red onions in the dish. I also see herbs just not sure of what kind. This looks good though.

[@johnbaptist7476]

So lovely & SCRUMPTIOUS & as my baby call her mama , mamalicious 😂😋 + 🕯🌹🌸🌷👌🙏🙌👏👏👏👏

[@Zirbip]

What can you substitute the white wine with?

[@laneyoh5]

Maybe apple juice? Or just use more broth?

[@donnalthood3102]

Lost my comment somewherw...but Scampi refers tonprawns...or more correctl langostines. Chicken scampi is not a thing...maybe chicken langostine style!

[@thairob]

If this is the lighter version, I’d hate to see the original. Looks good though.

[@noracharles80]

🤣

[@hafsahanif2768]

Can I replace wine with any other thing?

[@leightongalleries6057]

Acid. Lemon is excellent

[@keetrandling4530]

More chicken broth, lemon to taste, or a bit of a flavorful vinegar. Dont match either acid to the quantity of wine

[@DoughboyGod]

🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

[@joshmccollen700]

I'm going to use sundried tomatoes and basil instead of peppers and parsley. FIGHT ME!!!

[@leightongalleries6057]

You did make a rue when you added flour to the oil already in the pan. No?

[@paullukis3315]

What is going on with ATK? What happened to building flavors in pans?

[@DaMainDude]

So... where are the scampi?

[@griffincontracting]

Chicken-lobster prepared by chef Jordan Peterson.

[@sbutler0305]

I have a bit of a critique. I was taught to slice/chop bell peppers with the inside up to the knife. A knife could slide on the waxy outside and result in injury. On the positive, I love the hints about the flour and butter

[@diquattrom]

Fair, not great. ATK needs to take this on.

[@charlieharris3240]

?? While Cook's Country's focus is apparently classic and regional American cuisine and ATK's is a bit wider ranging, CC=ATK so this is their "take". It's also delicious (but I need to make more sauce).

[@user-vu5dp5pj8z]

Skillet days have gone forever .Air fryer your time & my time skillet I don’t make potatoes salad go & buy any grocery store .

[@griffincontracting]

Scampi is a type of lobster, yeah? This dish is seriously meta...

[@WatchingNinja]

No it's not. It's a prawn. Often people substitute shrimp because prawns are hard to come by.

[@hannahkayee831]

You need to take the whole tendon out not just the tip of it., and why keep taking the oil out and putting oil again. Doesn't make sense.

[@v.k.winner7766]

Really?! 4 T of butter + 6 T of EVOO? and that's the Lighter version? I suppose leaving out the cream and the pasta is the trick?

[@daphnetilling6034]

so chicken nuggets then? Lets make pork chops with beef next

[@M_Ladd]

160°? They are already dried out!

[@johnhoffay9081]

Afraid of getting sued!

[@charlieharris3240]

I've made this. With good chicken it does not dry out even if I accidentally over cook it (168f, 172F 😮), the chicken is still soft and juicy and delicious.

[@timh.7454]

Scampi means shrimp!! Not chicken. Thats just a chicken dish.

[@bergersmith9095]

It looks really good, but it's not scampi

[@keetrandling4530]

agreed. although the wine makes up a bit for the lack of lemon, without lemon, let's call this Chicken & Peppers in White Wine Sauce

[@johnlord8337]

I know how to make Chicken Scamper - grab their tail feathers - and damned well they will scamper away - real quick !

[@badassestman]

Oh I am first, I didn't want to be first. AAAAAAAAAAA

[@theldun1]

Why do people keep insisting on frying with olive oil??? Its not for frying!

[@animeboitiddies6146]

downvoting from england

[@johnhoffay9081]

If anyone trims their meat these days have more money then God! Soon you will wish you had those scraps! Waste nothing!

[@charlieharris3240]

Then feel free to gnaw away on those chewy tendons.

[@JulianDeveril]

Pff, Chicken Scampi. Why do you people have to change the names of dishes every time? These exist as "Goujons", since before time. 'Nuff said..!

[@benitaguinn1636]

Looks delicious
