Copycat Olive Garden Chicken Scampi

Copycat Olive Garden Chicken Scampi

I’ve been going to Olive Garden for at least 25 years and this Olive Garden Chicken Scampi has always been a favorite! You get seasoned chicken tenders, sauteed onions and bell peppers on top of angel hair pasta - all swimming in a garlic Parmesan cream sauce!
