Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 ounce boneless, skinless chicken breast
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 pinch black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon all-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon butter
- 0.25 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon chicken broth
- 0.5 teaspoon white wine (optional)
- 0.25 teaspoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons angel hair pasta (cooked)
- 1 pinch fresh parsley (optional, chopped)
Instructions
Cut the chicken breast into tiny doll-sized cubes (about 1/4-inch pieces).
Season the chicken cubes with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
Lightly coat the chicken pieces in the flour, shaking off any excess.
Heat the olive oil in a miniature skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook for about 1-2 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the chicken and set aside.
In the same skillet, melt the butter and add the minced garlic. Sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Deglaze the skillet by adding the chicken broth and white wine (if using). Stir gently to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
Add the lemon juice and let the sauce simmer for 1-2 minutes to thicken slightly.
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and toss to coat in the sauce.
Gently mix in the cooked angel hair pasta, ensuring it is evenly coated with the sauce.
Transfer the mini chicken scampi to a small serving plate. Garnish with a pinch of parsley, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy this perfectly portioned mini meal!
