I love scampi! There is something about the buttery lemony flavor that just calls my name. It doesn’t matter if it’s shrimp or chicken or scallops or lobster or fish or whatever it is you decide to do a scampi with, it’s just delicious!
And these little Chicken Scampi Appetizer Bites are absolutely amazing. But not just amazing, they look beautiful on the party table too.
There are so many different ways to prepare or serve scampi, but this version is so easy and the outcome is a wonderful flavor that is infused with garlic, butter, lemon and a little white wine, that is just perfect on the taste buds.

With the holidays quickly approaching I am already planning my menu for both. I am trying to keep things pretty simple this year, and these Chicken Scampi Appetizer Bites are truly very easy.
They look gorgeous on the food table and they go fast!
They are definitely on the list for both holiday’s and any other holiday entertaining I do. I try to change them up for the different holidays and might do shrimp one time, chicken another and scallops another.
This keeps things interesting, but no matter when I do them, somebody always asks for the recipe!
