Ingredients

• 0.5 ounce boneless, skinless chicken breast
• 1 pinch salt
• 1 pinch black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon all-purpose flour
• 0.5 teaspoon olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon butter
• 0.25 teaspoon minced garlic
• 1 tablespoon chicken broth
• 0.5 teaspoon white wine (optional)
• 0.25 teaspoon lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons angel hair pasta (cooked)
• 1 pinch fresh parsley (optional, chopped)

Directions

Step 1

Cut the chicken breast into tiny doll-sized cubes (about 1/4-inch pieces).

Step 2

Season the chicken cubes with a pinch of salt and black pepper.

Step 3

Lightly coat the chicken pieces in the flour, shaking off any excess.

Step 4

Heat the olive oil in a miniature skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook for about 1-2 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the chicken and set aside.

Step 5

In the same skillet, melt the butter and add the minced garlic. Sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 6

Deglaze the skillet by adding the chicken broth and white wine (if using). Stir gently to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.

Step 7

Add the lemon juice and let the sauce simmer for 1-2 minutes to thicken slightly.

Step 8

Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and toss to coat in the sauce.

Step 9

Gently mix in the cooked angel hair pasta, ensuring it is evenly coated with the sauce.

Step 10

Transfer the mini chicken scampi to a small serving plate. Garnish with a pinch of parsley, if desired.

Step 11

Serve immediately and enjoy this perfectly portioned mini meal!
