Scampi in this recipe refers to a preparation usually used for shrimp: garlic, butter, and lemon. Serve these zingy chicken bites with toothpicks, pincho-style.

• Preheat oven to 375°F.

• Cut the chicken into uniform bite-size pieces.

• Combine the breadcrumbs, parsley, and Parmesan cheese in a bowl.

• Dip the chicken pieces in the egg, then coat with breadcrumb mixture. Place the chicken pieces in a 9″ × 13″ glass baking dish.

• Melt the butter, garlic, and lemon juice in a skillet. Gently pour half of this mixture over the chicken pieces. Bake uncovered for 45 minutes. Spoon the rest of the lemon garlic butter over the chicken and serve hot.
