🍽️ Ingredients 🍽️

For the Rice:
- 1 1/2 cups uncooked white rice
- 3 cups chicken broth
- 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

For the Sauce:
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
- 2 tablespoons minced garlic
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup chicken broth (used in place of white wine)

For the Chicken:
- 1 lb chicken tenderloins
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons olive oil

🧑‍🍳 Directions 🧑‍🍳

1. Start with seasoning the chicken tenderloins using salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and cook the chicken for about 5-7 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from skillet and set aside.
2. In the same skillet, melt the butter. Add minced garlic, red pepper flakes, and salt, and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a simmer.
3. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, letting it simmer in the sauce for about 5 minutes to absorb the flavors.
4. While the chicken simmers, cook the rice. In a separate pot, combine the uncooked rice and chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid has been absorbed. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until well combined.
5. Serve the chicken scampi over the creamy garlic Parmesan rice, and drizzle extra sauce over the top as desired.
