🍋🧄🍝 CHICKEN SCAMPI WITH ANGEL HAIR PASTA 🍝🧄🍋

Chicken Scampi is one of those meals that feels elegant enough for guests but comes together in under an hour! Tender golden chicken cutlets are paired with a silky garlic, butter, white wine, and lemon sauce, then tossed with delicate angel hair pasta. 😍

✨ THE SECRET TO THE PERFECT SAUCE ✨
After making Chicken Scampi many times, I’ve learned one simple rule: never rush the sauce! Let the wine reduce properly, then finish with butter off the heat for the smoothest, glossiest finish. 🤌

🛒 INGREDIENTS

🍗 1½ lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced into cutlets
🧂 Salt and black pepper, to taste
🌾 ½ cup all-purpose flour, for dredging
🫒 2 tbsp olive oil
🧈 4 tbsp unsalted butter, divided
🧄 5 cloves garlic, minced
🍷 ½ cup dry white wine
🍋 ½ cup chicken broth
🍋 Juice of 1 lemon
🌿 ¼ cup fresh parsley, chopped
🍝 12 oz angel hair pasta
🧀 Freshly grated Parmesan, for serving

👩‍🍳 DIRECTIONS

1️⃣ Season the chicken with salt and pepper, then lightly dredge in flour.

2️⃣ Heat olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken for about 3–4 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and set aside.

3️⃣ Reduce the heat to medium and add the minced garlic. Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

4️⃣ Pour in the white wine and scrape up all those delicious browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Let the wine reduce by about half.

5️⃣ Add the chicken broth and lemon juice. Simmer for a few minutes to allow the flavors to come together.

6️⃣ Return the chicken to the skillet and simmer gently until heated through.

7️⃣ Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the remaining butter for a smooth, silky sauce. Stir in the fresh parsley.

8️⃣ Cook the angel hair pasta according to package directions. Drain, then toss with the delicious scampi sauce.

9️⃣ Serve the golden chicken over the angel hair pasta and garnish with freshly grated Parmesan and extra parsley. 🍋🧄🍝

🔥 This is the kind of dinner that makes an ordinary night feel special!
