Last week I shared these delicious creamy garlic scallops and some of you requested a version with chicken breasts instead. Who am I to not deliver? This is what you come here for, quick and easy recipes that taste amazing. You can always count on me to give you a delicious recipe. You may certainly use chicken thighs but do keep in mind that chicken thighs take longer to cook.
