Brown the chicken: Melt the butter in a large pot over medium-high heat. Chicken broth can be used in place of the white wine.

Chicken scampi doesn't have to be served with pasta, it's great alone and served with white rice or mashed potatoes.
Steps to make Chicken Scampi with Broccoli:
- In a large bowl, combine, flour, parmesan cheese, italian seasoning and pepper, add salt to taste.
- Toss chicken in mixture just to dry chicken and provide a seasoned surface.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet, sear chicken pieces about 3 to 4 minutes on each side, until golden and cooked through, remove as done to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm.
- Into skillet, add onion and chilis , adding more oil if needed, soften for about 5 minutes, add garlic,and wine and bring to a boil scraping up bits in pan. When wine is almost gone add broth, cream, hot saice and lemon, boil until a light sauce forms, add broccoi and heat, turn heat to low add cheese and butter to melt. Remove from heat.
- On a platter toss pasta with some sauce, top with chicken, add remaining sauce and serve. Garnish with more parmesan cheese to taste and fresh herbs.
After letting it cook for another minute or two I added my cooked angel hair pasta and tossed it all together in the pan. Don't skip the cornstarch mixture here–it helps the garlicky sauce cling to the pasta. Remove the chicken to a plate. Cut chicken breasts into thirds (like tenders). While the pasta is cooking, melt the ½ cup butter in the skillet.
