This Chicken Scampi recipe combines tender slices of chicken breast with a rich garlic butter sauce, white wine, and fresh parsley, all tossed with perfectly cooked linguine or spaghetti. It’s a flavorful and elegant dish that comes together quickly, making it perfect for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion.

Ingredients

Protein

  • 1 lb chicken breast, sliced

Produce

  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped

Dairy

  • 1/2 cup butter

Pantry

  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup white wine
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 lb linguine or spaghetti

Instructions

  1. Cook Pasta: Cook the linguine or spaghetti according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain the pasta and set it aside for later use.
  2. Melt Butter: In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat, preparing the base for the garlic butter sauce.
  3. Sauté Garlic: Add the minced garlic to the melted butter and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, taking care not to burn the garlic.
  4. Cook Chicken: Add the sliced chicken breast to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is browned on all sides and fully cooked through.
  5. Add Liquids: Pour in the chicken broth and white wine. Bring the mixture to a simmer to allow the flavors to combine and the sauce to reduce slightly.
  6. Season and Add Parsley: Stir in the chopped fresh parsley and season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Toss Pasta: Add the cooked pasta directly into the skillet with the sauce and chicken. Toss everything together to ensure the pasta is well coated with the flavorful sauce.
  8. Serve: Serve the chicken scampi hot, garnished with additional parsley if desired for an extra burst of freshness and color.

Notes

  • Use dry white wine, such as Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio, for the best flavor.
  • For a richer sauce, you can add a splash of heavy cream at the end.
  • Make sure not to overcook the chicken to keep it tender and juicy.
  • Fresh garlic is essential for the authentic flavor of scampi.
  • This dish pairs well with a crisp green salad and crusty bread.
