Olive Garden chicken scampi-anyone have a recipe close to this?

[Cathy]

We had dinner at the Olive Garden tonight and thoroughly enjoyed their chicken scampi in a roasted garlic herb cream sauce. I know it is sinful, but it is absolutely wonderful. Do any of you have a chicken scampi recipe that I could fool around with and try to come close to theirs? Possibly lighten it up too? TIA!

Hi Cathy! You're in luck - I found this at the Copy Cat Recipe section on www.kitchenlink.com (http://www.kitchenlink.com)

Olive Garden Chicken Scampi

white sauce base:

heat 1 tblspoon butter in nonstick skillet. after it's melted, add 2
tblspns flour and cook for 2 minutes on med heat. slowly add milk and stir
constantly to get rid of lumps. when you have added enough milk, you should
have like a white gravy consistency. set this aside. You will have much
more white sauce than you will actually need.

scampi sauce:

2 sticks butter
2 tblspns crushed garlic (real garlic; not salt or the dried stuff
2 tblspns chicken stock
3/4 cup chablis (actually, I used riesling and it worked fine) or any white
wine that's not too sweet
1 cup water
1/4 cup white sauce
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper
2 tblspns italian seasoning
black pepper to taste .

Heat butter over a slow heat. add the garlic, italian seasoning and crushed
red pepper. cook for about 2 minutes on low heat. add the wine, water, and
chicken base. stir until combined. add the white sauce mix and stir until
slightly thickened.

The rest of it...
1/2 package of angel hair, cooked according to package directions
thinly sliced bell peppers (red, green and yellow)
thinly sliced red onions
about 10 whole garlic cloves

put the garlic cloves in a small nonstick skillet with some oil and braise
them for about 20 minutes on low heat. Just put the lid on the skillet and
let them cook...they should be golden and really soft when they are done.

in a large nonstick skillet, saute the peppers and onions for a few
minutes. also, saute chicken tenderloins (however many you feel like
cooking or eating!)Add the angel hair and pour the sauce over. saute until
everything is mixed together and sauce is reheated. add garlic cloves.
