Source: CDKitchen
Serves/Makes: 2
WHITE SAUCE:
1 tablespoon butter
2 tablespoons flour
3/4 cup milk; hot
SCAMPI SAUCE:
3 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons garlic, crushed
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper
1 tablespoon dried cilantro, optional
2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
black pepper to taste
3/4 cup white wine
1 cup chicken broth
1/4 cup white sauce
REMAINING INGREDIENTS:
1/2 pk. angel hair pasta, cooked and drained
bell peppers; thinly sliced
red onions; thinly sliced
10 cloves of garlic; roasted
2 chicken breasts; sliced
olive oil
For white sauce: Heat 1 Tbsp. butter in sauce pan, add 2 Tbsp. flour
and cook for 2 minutes on med. heat. heat stirring constantly. slowly add
3/4 cup hot milk (hot so it won't get lumpy). Set aside. (Make sure
that the white sauce is hot when adding to the scampi sauce)
For scampi sauce: Heat butter over low heat. add the garlic, Italian
seasoning, crushed red pepper and black pepper. cook for about 2 minutes
on low heat. add the wine and chicken broth. stir until combined. (I
usually cook mine for about 30-40 minutes). add 1/4 cup white sauce and
cook till slightly thickened. In a large skillet, saute chicken in a
little olive till nearly done. add the peppers and onions, saute till
chicken is done. add the sauce. saute until everything is warmed. add
roasted garlic cloves. serve over pasta.
ROASTED GARLIC: Separate head of garlic into individual cloves still
in 'paper'. toss in olive oil and wrap tightly in aluminum foil or a
small pint sized dish with a lid. bake in 350* oven for 45 minutes. when
the garlic has cooled to the touch you should be able to squeeze it out
of the 'paper' shell of the individual cloves.
