White Sauce Base
Heat 1 tablespoon butter in nonstick skillet. After it's melted, add 2 tablespoons flour and cook for 2 minutes on Medium heat. slowly add milk and stir constantly to get rid of lumps. When you have added enough milk, you should have like a white gravy consistency. Set this aside. You will have much more white sauce than you will actually need.

Scampi Sauce
2 sticks butter
2 T. crushed garlic (real garlic; not salt or the dried stuff)
2 T. chicken stock
3/4 C. Chablis (actually, I used Riesling and it worked fine) or
    any white wine that's not too sweet.
1 C. water
1/4 C. white sauce
1 tsp. crushed red pepper
2 T. Italian seasoning
Black pepper to taste

Heat butter over a slow heat. Add the garlic, Italian seasoning and crushed red pepper. Cook for about 2 minutes on low heat. Add the wine, water, and chicken base. Stir until combined. Add the white sauce mix and stir until slightly thickened.

The rest of it
1/2 pkg. angel hair, cooked
    according to package directions
Thinly sliced bell peppers (red, green and yellow)
Thinly sliced red onions, about
10 whole garlic cloves

Put the garlic cloves in a small nonstick skillet with some oil and braise them for about 20 minutes on low heat. Just put the lid on the skillet and let them cook, they should be golden and really soft when they are done.

In a large nonstick skillet, sauté the peppers and onions for a few minutes. Also, sauté chicken tenderloins (however many you feel like cooking or eating!) Add the angel hair and pour the sauce over. Sauté until everything is mixed together and sauce is reheated. Add garlic cloves.
