Sorry, I'm a mom and my kids say it that way. Ok. I'm digressing, lets move on to the recipe that will change your life forever! I wish you could see my face. I know Im ridiculous but play along!!!

Chicken Scampi Ingredients:
-Two chickens from the farm that you shot and killed yourself.
-Sorry... lol... kidding. I am starting over!

-1 pound chicken breast cut into bite size pieces.
-2 cloves fresh garlic, minced
-1 lemon
-2 tbs fresh chopped parsley
-1/4 cup butter
-1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
-1 teaspoon salt
-1/4 teaspoon pepper
-1 box pasta. I like linguini
-1 container italian bread crumbs
-2 eggs
-1/2 cup milk
-Canola oil - enough to cover chicken because you are going to fry it. I use an electric fryer but you can do this in a frying pan! Either way is fine. I just don't like the splatter the frying pan tends to produce.

Directions:

-Put eggs and milk into a bowl. Mix them up! Place the cut up chicken in the mixture, move it around and let it sit for a minute while you prepare the rest!
-Place the bread crumbs into another bowl. Take the chicken out trying not to get all the goopy egg with it and place it into the breadcrumbs to coat.
-Take the fresh squeezed lemon, garlic, parsley, butter, olive oil, salt, pepper and place it into a pan and cook it on low heat for about three minutes, until the butter is melted and flavors have blended.
-Heat canola oil on medium high heat until it starts to sizzle. I normally give it about 5 minutes. Place the chicken in the pan. Please BE CAREFUL. If you're a rookie fryer put the chicken in slowly or it will splatter the oil and it will hurt you! Honestly, it burns. Again. I like the deep fryer basket thingy, for this very reason.
-Fry the chicken until the pieces are golden brown.
-As the pieces are cooked, place them on a serving tray and keep them warm on the stove. If you can! I have a warm button. That's the best invention since sliced bread and I feel blessed to have it! YAY. Sorry. I get excited sometimes!
-Ok, next you cook your noodles and place them in a casserole dish. Pour the scampi sauce mixture over the pasta.

To serve: Simply plate the pasta, put a few pieces of chicken over the pasta with some grated parmesan cheese. Add a few drips of melted butter on that chicken and eat your heart out baby!
