It doesn't get any easier than this!!!!

I made this last night & it was OOOH so tasty! LOVED IT! and SO freakin' simple!

Chicken or Shrimp Scampi
---------------------------------------------

- 1 1/2 lbs.(approx.) boneless skinless chicken breasts

- 1/2 - 3/4 lb. spaghetti

-1 1/2 sticks butter

- 1/2 cup white wine(plus a little extra)

4-5 cloves of garlic(chopped & minced)

- 1/4 cup(heaping) parsley

- 1 1/2 tsp.basil

-1 1/2 tsp. worcestershire sauce

- 1 1/2 tsp. lemon juice

-1/2 cup seasoned breadcrumbs

---------------------------------------------------------
**Preheat oven to 450
**Cut up raw chix. into cubes or strips
**Put water up for pasta

1) Melt butter in microwave - transfer to mixing bowl

2) Mix all remaining ingredients together with butter (minus chicken/pasta)

3) place chicken strips in 7x9 roasting pan(i'm assuming thats the size...it's the smaller of my two glass pyrex roasting dishes)

4) pour mixture over chicken

5)Bake 20minutes(not sure if this varies for shrimp as i've only made the chicken)

6) remove chicken from dish & serve in side dish(or on top of pasta), toss all remaining sauce(scrape well!) with spaghetti

enjoy!!!

yea - it's definetly buttery...but omg - REALLY good! my hubby's stomach is pretty bad and he was fine - maybe the wine balances it out??? i have no idea! it's just a lot of greasy goodness! lol. Once the sauce is tossed into the pasta it spreads pretty thin...so it's not TOO bad... but yea - YUM.
