Creating Chicken Scampi with Garlic Parmesan Rice is simple when you follow these steps:

1. Prepare the Chicken: Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and season with salt and pepper.
2. Cook the Rice: In a medium saucepan, prepare the rice according to package instructions. Set aside.
3. Sauté the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook until golden and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
4. Make the Sauce: In the same skillet, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes, sautéing for about 1 minute until fragrant.
5. Add Liquid: Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
6. Incorporate Cheese: Gradually add the grated parmesan cheese, stirring until melted and smooth. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste.
7. Combine Chicken: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, stirring to coat it in the creamy sauce. Cook for another 2-3 minutes to heat through.
8. Mix in Rice: Add the cooked rice to the skillet, gently folding it into the chicken and sauce until evenly combined.
9. Garnish: Remove from heat and garnish with chopped parsley.
10. Serve: Plate the Chicken Scampi with Garlic Parmesan Rice and serve with lemon wedges on the side for an added zest.
