This one is so very yummy!  While my oldest LOVES shrimp...we just don't have it that often.  A little pricey in the purse, you know.  So, here's a great recipe that is reminiscent of the classic Shrimp Scampi...served beautifully over rice or pasta!  Yum!

Chicken Scampi

INGREDIENTS:

1/2 cup butter 1/4 cup olive oil 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning 3 cloves garlic, minced (or more!)

3/4 teaspoon salt 1 tablespoon lemon juice 4 boneless chicken breast halves, chunked

DIRECTIONS:

1.	In a skillet heat the butter or margarine and oil over medium high until the butter/margarine melts. Add the Italian seasoning, garlic and salt and mix together in the skillet. Stir in lemon juice.
2.	Then add the chicken and saute for about 3 minutes or until white. Lower the heat and cook for about 10 to 15 minutes or until chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear. More butter/margarine can be added if needed.
