Description

This Chicken Scampi recipe delivers a luscious blend of buttery garlic sauce with tender, sautéed chicken breast served over linguine or spaghetti. The combination of white wine, chicken broth, and fresh parsley creates a flavorful, restaurant-quality pasta dish that is easy to prepare and perfect for weeknight dinners or special occasions.

Ingredients

Chicken & Sauce

  • 1 lb chicken breast, sliced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup white wine
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Pasta

  • 1 lb linguine or spaghetti

Instructions

  1. Cook Pasta: Cook the linguine or spaghetti according to the package instructions until al dente; drain and set aside to keep warm.
  2. Melt Butter: In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat to create the base for the sauce.
  3. Sauté Garlic: Add the minced garlic to the melted butter and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute, taking care not to burn it.
  4. Cook Chicken: Add the sliced chicken breast to the skillet and cook until the chicken is browned on the outside and fully cooked through, with no pink remaining inside.
  5. Add Liquids: Pour in the chicken broth and white wine, then bring the mixture to a gentle simmer to meld the flavors and reduce slightly.
  6. Season & Add Parsley: Stir in the freshly chopped parsley and season the sauce with salt and pepper to your taste preference.
  7. Toss Pasta with Sauce: Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss everything together to evenly coat the noodles with the flavorful sauce and chicken.
  8. Serve: Serve the chicken scampi hot, garnished with additional fresh parsley if desired for a bright, fresh finish.

Notes

  • Use dry white wine such as Pinot Grigio or Sauvignon Blanc for best flavor.
  • If you prefer, substitute butter with olive oil for a lighter sauce.
  • Ensure chicken is cooked through but not overcooked to keep it tender.
  • Fresh parsley adds brightness—avoid dried for this recipe.
  • For gluten-free option, substitute pasta with gluten-free linguine.
  • Leftovers store well refrigerated for up to 2 days.
