You can also try making Chicken and Shrimp Scampi!
Sometimes we add shrimp to this recipe and it tastes great with the chicken. Give this combination a try for a change sometime.
You won’t regret it. Yum!
Another idea is to just use shrimp instead of the chicken scampi. It is so good and reminds me of Olive Garden.
The peppers and onions taste amazing with the shrimp scampi. I like to add a little lemon juice and red pepper flakes when using shrimp.
You can also try adding heavy cream to change the consistency a bit and make it creamier. Also try white wine with the chicken broth.
This recipe is so quick and easy and the best one pot chicken meal.

Hi Carrie, I was wondering for the chicken Scampi recipe, can I use frozen chicken fillet for the crockpot or do I need to use defrosted chicken fillets? Would this alter the cooking time? Thank you so much. Love all your time saving recipes.
Jenni – You can definitely use frozen chicken. That’s what I generally use. I would cook on low for 6-8 hours or 4 hours on high in the crock pot. Thank you!
