Chicken scampi doesn't have to be something your afraid to make. It can be super simple to have without having to go to a restaurant. In the recipe below we make chicken scampi but all in a casserole. It's a delicious meal your entire family will love.
We start off by coating the chicken in flour then dipping it in milk. Then back into the flour it goes before resting on a rack. This will get you a nice crust that will stick to the chicken rather than just falling off after cooking in the pan. We deglaze the pan with white wine right after cooking chicken and bell peppers to really build the flavor of the sauce. Then finish with heavy cream, it's a meal that every one will love any day of the week.
