Creamy Garlic Chicken Prawns & Scallops

Instructions:

1. Prep the Ingredients:
   • Start by seasoning the chicken breasts, prawns, and scallops with salt and pepper to taste.
   • Mince the garlic and zest the lemon to have everything ready.
2. Cook the Chicken:
   • Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
   • Once the oil is hot, add the chicken breasts and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked through and golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
3. Cook the Seafood:
   • In the same skillet, add 2 tablespoons of butter. Once melted, add the prawns and scallops.
   • Cook the prawns for about 2-3 minutes on each side, until they turn pink. For the scallops, cook them for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden and slightly caramelized. Remove the seafood and set aside with the chicken.
4. Make the Creamy Garlic Sauce:
   • In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium and add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
   • Pour in the chicken broth and scrape any flavorful bits off the bottom of the pan.
   • Add the heavy cream, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Stir everything together and let it simmer for about 3-4 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
5. Combine and Serve:
   • Return the cooked chicken, prawns, and scallops to the skillet. Spoon some of the creamy sauce over the top of the chicken and seafood.
   • Let everything simmer for another 2-3 minutes until heated through and well-coated in the sauce.
6. Garnish and Enjoy:
   • Garnish the dish with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of color and a fresh touch.
   • Serve the creamy garlic chicken, prawns, and scallops with your favorite side dishes, like rice, mashed potatoes, or steamed vegetables.

Tips for Perfection:

• Cooking Time: Be careful not to overcook the seafood. Prawns should only be cooked until they turn pink, and scallops should have a light golden crust.
• Heavy Cream Substitute: If you want a lighter version, you can substitute heavy cream with half-and-half or coconut milk for a different flavor.
• Flavor Boost: For extra depth of flavor, you can add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a touch of heat or some grated parmesan for a rich, cheesy addition.

Why You’ll Love This Dish:

• Flavor Explosion: The combination of garlic, cream, and lemon creates a velvety sauce that perfectly complements the chicken and seafood.
• Impressive & Easy: Despite being restaurant-quality, this dish is surprisingly easy to prepare, making it a great choice for both weeknight dinners and special occasions.
• Versatile: You can adjust the seafood proportions or swap out the chicken for another protein, like pork or beef, depending on your preferences.
