I usually don't use recipes but this is a great simple one & you can use the butter/milk mixture as a basic cream sauce for many recipes or a gravy base. -
Delicious! I tried to make it a little healthier by using olive oil instead of butter and 2% milk and it still tasted very good. I'll definitely make this again! -
Mmmmmm, this was excellent! I had been craving scampi and found this recipe to be so easy to put together. I didn't add shrimp as I forgot to thaw it sooner! However, it was still delicious with just chicken. I bet its going to be just as tasty as leftovers! -
This was VERY DELICIOUS!! DH was on cloud nine :) I diced up the chicken into bite size pieces and used half milk and half whipping cream for a richer flavor. We will have this again! Thanks for sharing the recipe! -
This was really great. Everyone enjoyed the scampi. I did cut up the chicken into bite size pieces and sauted in the butter along with olive oil. Added about 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice at the end. Served with white rice and peas. Thanks for sharing.

I would recommend doubling the flour & using the extra flour mixed in with the milk mixture (mix it in a seperate cup/mug before adding to milk to prevent lumps), if you prefer a thicker cream sauce. Next time I'll probably add sliced mushrooms to the onion/garlic saute. You could also use shallots instead of regular onion. Lots of things you could tweak & add to this basic recipe. I also added an addtl tbsp butter after cooking the chicken. It saute the onion/garlic butter.

After DH and I moved away from the farm, and to the city...I haven't done as much cooking and very little canning. But I do come to Zaar and look for new recipes once in a while. I'm still cooking Zaar!!
I like to play at Facebook, with my family and friends. A lot of my Zaar friends are there!! Yay! It's a good way to keep in touch.
We travel more. We're looking at the European trips now. Hope to go in the springtime. I really want to see London, I think I lived there in a past life, I've been obsessed with it since I was 10 years old!!
