GARLIC CHICKEN AND SHRIMP

Category: Fish and Seafood

2 to 3 boneless chicken breast halves or tenders, about 1 lb
1 lb large shrimp
6 tbsp butter
1/4 cup olive oil
4 medium cloves garlic, smashed and minced
1 tsp dried leaf basil and 1 tsp dried parsley flakes
1/2 tsp salt and Creole seasoning or seasoned salt blend

Lightly pound chicken between sheets of plastic wrap to an even thickness. Cut in strips about 1-inch wide.

In a large skillet, melt the butter with olive oil. Add garlic, basil, parsley, salt, and seasoning. Heat over medium low heat and add the chicken and shrimp. Cook the shrimp and chicken mixture, stirring, for about 10 to 15 minutes, until cooked through. If shrimp are small, add a few minutes after adding chicken. Serve with hot cooked pasta. Sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley, if desired. Serves 4 to 6.
