Chicken Scampi

(makes 4 servings)

Ingredients:

• ¼ tsp. pepper
  
• 2 cloves garlic, minced, divided
  
• ¼ tsp. salt
  
• 2 Tbsp. fresh oregano, chopped
  
• ¼ cup fresh parsley, chopped
  
• 3 Tbsp. lemon juice
  
• ¼ cup white wine, divided
  
• 5 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, cut into 1” strips
  
• 1 Tbsp. olive oil
  
• ¼ cup chicken stock
  
• 1 Tbsp. butter
  
• ½ cup Roma tomatoes, diced
  
• Salt and pepper to taste
  
• 3 Tbsp. grated Parmesan cheese
  

Preparation:

• In resealable plastic bag, combine pepper, half of garlic, salt, oregano, parsley, lemon juice, and half of wine. Add chicken. Mix gently to coat chicken with marinade. Marinate in the refrigerator for several hours (overnight is best).
  
• When ready to cook chicken, preheat broiler, on low if your range has this setting. Remove chicken from marinade (save the remaining marinade) and place in a shallow pan.
  
• Broil 8” from heat, turning once, about 1 minute or until chicken is no longer pink inside.
  
• While chicken is broiling, in saute pan, heat oil in and saute remaining garlic, until fragrant, but not browned. Add remaining white wine to saute pan and scrape to remove any bits on the pan.
  
• Add remaining marinade and chicken stock. Bring to a boil. Reduce sauce by half. Stir in butter and tomatoes. Season with salt and pepper. Pour sauce over the chicken. Top with cheese.
