An attempt of copycat OG Chicken Scampi

1-1 1/2 pounds of chicken breast pounded
2 sticks of butter
1/2 cup of olive oil
1 teaspoon of parsley
1 teaspoon of basil
1/4 teaspoon of oregano
cloves of garlic (depends on how much you like garlic, at least 2)
2 tablespoons of lemon juice
1 box of angel hair pasta

Brown chicken any way you would like to do it: grill, boil, crockpot, etc. Cool and slice into strips.
Start your pasta.
Melt 1/2 stick of butter in a pan and 1 clove of garlic grated or pressed. Cook until your nostrils are filled with the aroma of garlic and then add the olive oil, parsley, basil, oregano, a bit of salt and pepper and chicken. Cook chicken until done.
Remove chicken.
Add the rest of the butter. Yes, all 1 and 1/2 sticks, just don't think about it. And, the rest of the garlic (grated or pressed) and lemon juice. Cook garlic in the butter for a couple of minutes.
Drain pasta.
Now, you can either put the chicken back into the sauce and then mix it all with the pasta, or put the chicken on the pasta and then drizzle some of the garlic butter sauce over the top and taste before you add more sauce.
