Chicken Scampi, Freezer meal

Tonight I cooked up one of the freezer meals that I made from my first blog post when I made four chicken freezer meals from one 4 kg box of frozen chicken breast that I got on sale from Safeway.

Chicken Scampi was thawed out, reheated in a saucepan.  I used whole wheat spaghetti to serve it on and topped with fresh chopped tomatoes and Parmesan cheese.

The meal was easy and tasty, the only addition I would be more fresh ground pepper.  Also there is a lot of leftovers, maybe I would have split the  recipe in half or made two dinner portions instead of one.
