CHICKEN SCAMPI WITH PASTA



Chicken Scampi With Pasta image

A popular restaurant-style dish that can be prepared at home with great results, I have made this many times, it is *very* good! --- the success of this dish will depend on the quality of Parmesan cheese that you use so use the best! The garlic amount may be adjusted to taste, and use whipping cream only for this!

BUTTERY CHICKEN "SCAMPI" PASTA



Buttery Chicken

Jamie's a fan of shrimp scampi, but Jack is not. Turns out they can both agree on this chicken version.

Yield serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 garlic cloves, minced
3/4 cup dry white wine
1 1/4 teaspoons salt, plus additional for seasoning
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus additional for seasoning
1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
3 boneless skinless chicken breast halves, cut into 1 1/2-inch-long strips
1/3 cup chopped fresh parsley
1 1/2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
Cooked pasta, such as linguine, for serving

Steps:

  • Melt the butter with the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute, until fragrant. Add the wine, the 1 1/4 teaspoons salt, the 1/4 teaspoon pepper, and the red pepper flakes. Simmer until the wine has reduced by half, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Season the chicken with the additional salt and pepper. Add the chicken to the sauce in the skillet and cook for 5 minutes, or until no longer pink inside and the juices run clear when it is pricked with a fork. Stir in the parsley and lemon juice. Serve over the pasta.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make a big difference in the final dish.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. If you overcrowd the pan, the chicken and shrimp will not cook evenly.
  • Cook the chicken and shrimp in batches. This will help to prevent overcrowding and ensure that the chicken and shrimp are cooked through.
  • Don't overcook the chicken and shrimp. Overcooked chicken and shrimp will be tough and chewy.
  • Use a good quality white wine. A dry white wine, such as a Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio, will work well in this dish.
  • Add the lemon juice and zest at the end of cooking. This will help to brighten the flavor of the dish.
  • Serve the chicken scampi pasta immediately. This dish is best enjoyed when it is hot and fresh.

Conclusion:

Chicken scampi pasta is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a flavorful and satisfying meal that the whole family will enjoy. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy dinner recipe, give chicken scampi pasta a try.
