Last Nights Dinner

Last night we had chicken scampi, twice baked potatoes, and asparagus. Being that the chicken came out AWESOME I figured I would share the recipe. So here it is!

Chicken Scampi
Ingredients:

1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
3 cloves garlic, minced

3/4 chicken breasts sliced

Directions:
1. In a skillet heat the butter or margarine and oil over medium high until the butter/margarine melts. Add the parsley, basil, oregano and garlic and salt and mix together in the skillet. Stir in lemon juice.
2. Then add the chicken and saute for about 3 minutes or until white. Lower the heat and cook for about 10 to 15 minutes or until chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear. More butter/margarine can be added if needed.
