Weight Watchers Creamy Chicken Scampi Directions:
Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 5-6 minutes per side, or until browned and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant.
In a small bowl, whisk together the chicken broth, half-and-half, and cornstarch until smooth. Pour the mixture into the skillet with the garlic, stirring constantly.
Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until slightly thickened.
Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, and lemon juice. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste.
Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet and spoon the sauce over the top. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until heated through.
Serve the creamy chicken scampi over cooked angel hair pasta, garnished with lemon wedges and additional grated Parmesan cheese, if desired.
