Olive Garden Chicken Scampi Yummy

SERVES 2 -4

WHITE SAUCE
1 tablespoon butter
2 tablespoons flour
3/4 cup milk, hot

SCAMPI SAUCE
3 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons garlic, crushed
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 tablespoon dried cilantro (optional)
2 teaspoons italian seasoning
black pepper
3/4 cup white wine
1 cup chicken broth
1/4 cup white sauce

REMAINING INGREDIENTS
1/2 lb angel hair pasta, cooked and drained
2 bell peppers, thinly sliced
1 red onion, thinly sliced
10 garlic cloves, roasted
2 chicken breasts, sliced
olive oil

For white sauce:
Heat 1 tablespoons butter in sauce pan, add 2 tablespoons flour and cook for 2 minutes on med. heat. heat stirring constantly. slowly add 3/4 cup hot milk (hot so it won't get lumpy). Set aside. (Make sure that the white sauce is hot when adding to the scampi sauce).

For scampi sauce: Heat butter over low heat. add the garlic, Italian seasoning, crushed red pepper and black pepper. cook for about 2 minutes on
low heat. add the wine and chicken broth. stir until combined. (I usually cook mine for about 30-40 minutes). add 1/4 cup white sauce and cook till slightly thickened.
In a large skillet, saute chicken in a little olive till nearly done. add the peppers and onions, saute till chicken is done. add the sauce. saute until
everything is warmed. add roasted garlic cloves. serve over pasta.

ROASTED GARLIC:
Separate head of garlic into individual cloves still in 'paper'. toss in olive oil and wrap tightly in aluminum foil or a small pint sized dish with a lid. bake in 350* oven for 45 minutes. when the garlic has cooled to the touch you should be able to squeeze it out of the 'paper' shell of the individual cloves.
 
Thanks, you got some Great recipes. I make my white sauce the same way. This is a Must Try! Cookie :)
 
This sounds delicious. The chicken dishes at Olive Garden are always so tender. My chicken never turns out as tender. Is there a secret to it?

I just made this tonight. It is so good! I didnt have any problem with the chicken being tough. The red pepper flakes give it a kick. I added all of my white sauce to my scampi sauce. I pan roasted the garlic and then mashed them into the chicken, onions and peppers when they were cooking.
