  6. Stir in the lemon juice and heavy cream, bringing the mixture to a gentle simmer.
  7. Add the grated Parmesan cheese, stirring until melted and combined.
  8. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, coating it well with the sauce and letting it heat through.
  9. Serve the chicken scampi over a bed of garlic parmesan rice.
