A comforting Chicken Scampi dish with perfectly browned chicken and creamy garlic parmesan rice.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 chicken breasts, sliced
  • 8 oz linguine pasta
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup white wine
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Chopped parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Start by cooking the linguine! Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, and add your pasta. Cook according to package instructions until al dente. Once done, drain and set it aside, making sure to reserve a splash of the cooking water.
  2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat until shimmering. This will create a lovely base for your chicken.
  3. Add the sliced chicken to the skillet in a single layer, letting it cook for 5-7 minutes until it’s beautifully browned on one side. Flip and cook through until no longer pink.
  4. Now, it’s time to add that aromatic goodness! Stir in the minced garlic and let it cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, bringing out those irresistible, savory notes.
  5. Pour in the white wine and chicken broth, allowing it to simmer for a few minutes. The alcohol in the wine cooks away, leaving behind a subtle depth of flavor.
  6. Lower the heat and stir in the heavy cream. Gradually add the grated Parmesan cheese, mixing until it melts and forms a creamy, luscious sauce that clings to your chicken.
  7. Taste your sauce and season it well with salt and pepper, adjusting it to your preference. This step is crucial as it brings all flavors together.
  8. Gently toss the cooked linguine into the sauce, ensuring every strand is coated in the creamy goodness. If it feels too thick, you can add a splash of your reserved pasta water!
  9. Serve this delightful creation hot, garnished with fresh chopped parsley for an inviting finish that adds flavor and a touch of elegance.

Notes

Pair with a side salad or garlic bread for a complete meal.
