Natasha’s Chicken Scampi

HELLO, AND WELCOME BACK TO LET'S COOK !!!!

Today I want to introduce you to my new favorite on line cook.

Natashas Kitchen

To say I LOVE  YOU TUBE, would be an understatement. I have learned so much by watching You Tube Videos. 

Everything from how to maintain my lawn sprinklers to wood working, and cooking.

I have found several that we have featured here, like Cooking With Carolyn , One Pot Chef , &  Hillbilly Kitchen, just to name a few.

Maybe I should do a BLOG about on line cooks, or perhaps the best TV Cooks? 

But I digress.

Today we are making Natasha's Chicken Scampi. 

I have always run the other direction on Scampi because it is mainly made with SHRIMP. But this looked interesting and Penny wanted me to try it. 

So let's grab a beer, and get out ingredients together.

 

Natasha’s Chicken Scampi

https://natashaskitchen.com/chicken-scampi-pasta/

12 oz pasta

Flour for the chicken

4 T Olive Oil

4 T butter

4 cloves chopped garlic

1 1/2 lbs chicken tenders

salt and pepper

1/3 C parsley

1/4 C fresh squeezed lemon juice (1 large lemon) zest first.

3/4 cup dry white wine

Season the chicken with salt and pepper and dredge in flour.

Melt 1 T butter and 2 T evoo in sauté pan. add half the chicken (one layer deep please) and cook for 5 minutes on each side until 165 F. remove to plate and cook second batch. And set aside.

for sauce:  melt 2 T butter and 2 T evoo. stir up bits from the skillet then deglaze with the white wine. cook for 5 minutes then add 4 T butter, lemon juice and zest, and parsley. 

Add chicken back to sauce and coat then put on a plate.

You can make the Pasta while you are cooking the chicken and making the broth.

Add cooked pasta to the sauce, stir, place in a serving bowl. Add the Chicken Tenders on top for serving.

Pass the parm.

Doesn't that look GOOD ????? Damn right.

I thought the Lemon taste was a bit much. 

BUT WAIT !!!!

The next day it was EVEN BETTER. Yes, left overs were better.

The Lemon taste had diminished just a bit. 

I would not change a thing about this recipe. Natasha NAILED IT.

You really should give this a try.  You can thank me later.

But we are not done yet !!!!

Can not forget the 'president'.

So what is next for 'Let's Cook' ? Well, how about another BUNT cake? This time CHOCOLATE. Or, The Banana Pudding I made the other day ? I have also been working on the best SMASH BURGER.

Stay tuned to see what we choose, next time on 'Let's Cook'.

Live Long and Prosper.

By the way, we are back to STAY THE (*_& AT HOME.
