Number Of Ingredients 10

1 lb bay scallops (if using large sea scallops, quarter them prior to cooking) or 1 lb sea scallops (if using large sea scallops, quarter them prior to cooking)

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil (may substitute with any other quality olive oil)
6 garlic cloves, minced
4 tablespoons lemon juice
2 cups fat-free chicken broth (or bullion prepared in 2 cups water)
3/4 cup fresh parsley, snipped. (1/4 cup dried parsley works well when fresh is not on hand)
2/3 cup green onion, sliced
