Baked Chicken Scampi
I use thighs because they're juicy, flavorful, hard to overcook, and easily available as boneless and skinless.
Recipe Summary Baked Chicken Scampi
Savory chicken baked in the oven instead of tending to a pan on the stove. Made with thighs, which have a richer flavor. Really good served over white rice. Or serve over pasta.Ingredients | Keto Recipes With Chicken Thighs
5 boneless, skinless chicken thighs, or more to taste
salt and ground black pepper to taste
5 tablespoons all-purpose flour, divided, or more as needed
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 tablespoon butter
2 tablespoons minced garlic
1 cup white wine
2 cups chicken broth
1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
3 tablespoons cold butter
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Season chicken with salt and pepper. Coat with 1/4 cup flour.
Heat oil and 1 tablespoon butter in an ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and saute until lightly browned on both sides, about 5 minutes. Add garlic; saute until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Pour wine into skillet and bring to a boil, scraping the browned bits of food off of the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Simmer until wine has reduced by half, about 5 minutes. Add broth, mushrooms, and parsley. Remove from heat.
Divide remaining butter into 3 pieces; coat with the remaining flour and add to skillet. Season with salt and pepper and place skillet in oven.
Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 25 to 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
I sometimes add a squeeze of lemon juice for a different flavor. You can also add sauteed red or yellow peppers, asparagus, shallots, or broccoli.
