Chicken Scampi Pasta Recipe (VIDEO)

Chicken Scampi Pasta has a garlic butter sauce that is light, vibrant, and so satisfying. It was inspired by our Shrimp Scampi Pasta and the family licked their plates clean with this one.

My kids loved the lemon flavor and went back for refills, and so did my husband. It’s the best feeling when the whole family is so pleased with dinner.

What makes a dish scampi?

In the US, most people think of Scampi as being the Italian-American concept of Shrimp Scampi, but scampi by itself is a dish that is served in a sauce made of butter, garlic, and dry white wine. You can make all kinds of scampi including lobster, scallops, and chicken scampi.

Ingredients for Chicken Scampi

  • Pasta – use 12 oz spaghetti and salt the water
  • Chicken Tenders – the easiest and most forgiving chicken to work with
  • Salt, Pepper, Flour – to dredge the chicken
  • Olive Oil, Butter– to cook the chicken and make sauce (do not skimp on the butter)
  • White Wine – use a dry wine such as chardonnay or sauvignon blanc
  • Garlic – 4 cloves, or 1 Tbsp minced garlic
  • Lemon – you’ll need 1 tsp of zest and 1/4 cup lemon juice from 1 large or 2 medium lemons
  • Parsley – finely chopped and added at the end

How to Make Chicken Scampi

  • Prep – before firing up the stove, chop, zest and juice your ingredients. Season chicken tenders and dip in flour, dusting off the excess.
  • Cook Pasta in salted water until al dente, reserve 1/2 cup pasta water then drain and tranfer to a serving platter.
  • Saute Chicken – while pasta is cooking, sautee chicken in butter and oil for 2 minutes per side (or until 165˚F on a thermometer) then transfer to a plate.

  • Make Sauce – Deglaze the pan with 3/4 cup white wine and cook 5 minutes to reduce down to 1/4 cup liquid. Add butter then garlic and simmer 30 seconds. Off the heat add lemon juice, zest, parsley and salt to taste.
  • Combine – return chicken to the pan and turn to coat in sauce. Spoon extra sauce over the pasta and toss. Top the pasta with chicken and any remaining sauce.

Pro Tip: Use some of your reserved pasta water to deglaze the empty pan then drizzle that over your pasta to get all of the tasty sauce in your dish.

Common Questions

Can I use chicken breast?

You can substitute with boneless, skinless chicken breasts that have been trimmed of fat and cut into strips (1-inch thick).

How to reheat pasta?

You can reheat leftover pasta and chicken over low heat on a skillet just until warmed through. If the pasta seems dry, you can drizzle with water and a little more butter. For a boost of flavor, squeeze in fresh lemon juice and serve with freshly chopped parsley and grated parmesan cheese.

Can I use cooking wine?

You can use an inexpensive dry white wine, but I highly recommend only cooking with a wine that you’d drink. Avoid using “cooking wine,” which contains preservatives, sweeteners, and salt that can ruin a dish.

Can I substitute the pasta?

You can make the chicken scampi with sauce and serve it over Mashed Potatoes or White Rice. It’s also yummy on cooked buckwheat.

Chicken Scampi served over spaghetti
Chicken Scampi Pasta has a lemon butter sauce that is light, vibrant, and so satisfying. We served this with roasted asparagus which complimented this dish perfectly.
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients 

Servings: 6 people
  • 12 oz spaghetti
  • 1 1/2 lbs chicken tenders
  • 1 1/2 tsp fine sea salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 Tbsp olive oil, divided
  • 6 Tbsp unsalted butter, divided
  • 3/4 cup dry white wine, chardonnay or sauvignon blanc
  • 4 garlic cloves, (1 Tbsp minced)
  • 1 tsp lemon zest, from 1 lemon
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice, from 2 lemons
  • 1/3 cup parsley, finely chopped
  • Parmesan, freshly shredded to serve

Instructions

  • Prep: chop, zest, juice, and mince all of your ingredients before you start cooking. Season chicken tenders with salt and pepper then dredge in flour.
  • Cook pasta: Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add 2 Tbsp salt. Cook pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta cooking water then drain the pasta and return pasta to the pot. Partially cover to keep warm.
  • Sautee chicken: While pasta is cooking, cook the chicken. Heat a large skillet over medium/high heat. Add 1 Tbsp oil and swirl in 1 Tbsp butter. Sauté chicken 2 minutes per side or until golden and cooked through to 165˚F on a thermometer. Remove to a plate. Add another Tbsp of oil and 1 Tbsp butter and sauté the second batch of chicken then transfer to a plate and cover to keep warm.
  • Make sauce: Carefully add 3/4 cup white wine. Return to medium/high heat and scrape the bottom of the pan to deglaze. Cook about 5 minutes or until reduced to about 1/4 cup liquid. Add 4 Tbsp butter and stir to melt. Add garlic and simmer 30 seconds until fragrant. Remove from heat and add 1/4 cup lemon juice, 1 tsp lemon zest, and 1/4 cup parsley. Stir to combine and season with 1/2 tsp salt or to taste.
  • Combine: Return chicken to the pan and turn to coat in sauce. Transfer drained pasta to a large serving bowl then tilt the pan and spoon extra sauce over cooked spaghetti. Toss spaghetti lightly with sauce then top with chicken and drizzle remaining sauce over the pasta*. Serve garnished with more parsley and freshly shredded parmesan.

Notes

Pro Tip: For a saucier pasta, deglaze your pan with some of the reserved pasta water then drizzle over the pasta to get all of the pan flavorings in your dish.

    I made this delicious Chicken Scampi Pasta last night with Cheesy Mozzarella Stuffed Garlic Rolls. What a knockout combination! My family thoroughly enjoyed the meal. I doubled the sauce since my husband enjoys his pasta saucy. I will definitely make this Scampi again and again! Thanks, Natasha!!

    This was good and I followed the directions exactly but the sauce had too strong of a lemon flavor. Did I do something wrong or should I reduce the amount of lemon juice / zest from the recipe?

      Hi Robert, usually once it’s tossed with the pasta, the flavor of the lemon should definitely mellow out. If serving without any pasta, you could cut back or just add it to taste.

    Outstanding! BTW, boneless skinless chicken thigh, cut into bite-sized pieces, works great as well. I also increased the garlic by about 50% (because of course I did!) and it did not unbalance the dish. Definitely a keeper.

          I have not tried this with vinegar to advise. You could use broth in its place. It won’t quite taste the same since it’s missing the unique flavor from the wine, but it will still be great. Also, if you are concerned about the alcohol content, most of it cooks off during the cooking process leaving behind its flavor.

      Hi David! You can remove the tendons if you’d like but not necessary. If you are using skinless chicken breasts, they should be trimmed of fat and cut into strips (1-inch thick) then you can follow the recipe exactly the same after that.

    I only used the juice of one very small lemon and I omitted the zest, I’m not a fan of the taste.
    After cooking the chicken I had high expectations for the recipe, the chicken tasted great before the sauce.
    After I deglazed the pan I waited then added the butter then the fresh garlic at this point it was still okay but the lemon absolutely ruined it. I tried adding some chicken stock to dilute the lemon. The lemon is basically all you can taste. No garlic, no butter, no wine.
    I added some corn starch to thicken the sauce a l little .,
    I really wish I had never put the chicken in the sauce and through it out. And made a simple sauce for the spaghetti noodles and left the good tasting chicken alone.

      Hi Laurie, I’m sorry to hear this recipe didn’t live up to your expectations and this one usually gets positive reviews. Was there anything different or changed in the recipe? Did you cook and simmer the sauce for the recommended times and add things in the order listed?

    I have made a lot of your recipes and loved them all, but I can tell from your finished product that there is no way near enough sauce and looks way too lemony. Dry pasta is a bane, this needed more sauce. Also chicken tenders looked over cooked. needs some tweaking.

    The sauce came out VERY lemony which for me was fine but for my picky eaters was too much lemon. I would definitely make this again just with juice from one lemon rather than two!

    Enjoyed a fresh dish this spring. I would omit the lemon juice and just use the zest next time – the lemon was too overpowering for this family. Since I love one pot meals, we added asparagus and mushrooms into. My husband found it bland so we’d add red pepper flakes for sure next time.

      When I made this, it was dry and did not have a lot of sauce…what I realized was the box of spaghetti was 16oz…this calls for 12oz! I increased the noodles by 1/3 😬🙈

      It was flavorful though. Remaking this again this week with the correct amount of noodles!

    Hi Natasha,
    I made this dish tonite and it was absolutely phenomenal! The flavor of the garlic and the butter, lemon and wine is so fresh and delicious! As a diabetic, I substituted chickpea pasta and it was very creamy and rich! Question. Can shrimp be directly substituted for the chicken in this dish considering the chicken is dredged in flour? Would the shrimp also be dredged in flour? Thank you so much in advance for your response and thank you very much for your recipes!!

      I”m happy you enjoyed this recipe, it was inspired by my shrimp scampi recipe. You can use shrimp instead of chicken. No need to toss them through the flour. Here is the Shrimp Scampi recipe for reference. It doesn’t use wine but you could add some in if you’d like.

    I just reviewed this great recipe, and then thought of a tip to share about the wine. We are red wine drinkers at our house, so buying a bottle of white wine for a recipe doesn’t work well because most of it gets thrown out before I cook another recipe that calls for white wine. So, I have started buying a 4-pack of the Chardonnay mini bottles to use for cooking. It works out great. As it happens, one of those bottles was the exact amount needed for this recipe.

        Sorry to say alcohol will not cook off. This is from The Food Network
        As a reference, here’s a helpful rule of thumb: After 30 minutes of cooking, alcohol content decreases by 10 percent with each successive half-hour of cooking, up to 2 hours. That means it takes 30 minutes to boil alcohol down to 35 percent and you can lower that to 25 percent with an hour of cooking. Two hours gets you down to 10 percent.

            The rule I’ve always heard is, if you wouldn’t drink it, don’t cook with it. What I’ve done is to buy some 250 ml (about 1 cup) cans of nice white wine. (I’ve got some red, too.) That way, I’m not left with 3/4ths of a bottle and trying to find ways to use it, since I’m not much of a wine drinker. It’s a little more expensive per ounce, but overall cheaper in the long run. And, stored in a cool dry place, it will keep for quite a while. Tonight I made this, and used a can I bought two years ago. I took a sip when I opened it (cooking for just myself), and it was perfectly good.

    To answer your question- no, I never use a spoon with pasta with the exception of pastini, as well as, some ditalini and risotto dishes. I do use a spoon with rice dishes frequently though.

    I enjoyed this dish, but made me curious about other flavors so second time around I tried it with fresh minced basil instead of parsley while cooking and found this had an excellent flavor. I did use the fresh parsley to garnish. Love the simplicity and how easy it is to customize to meet individual preferences….so thank you very much, Natasha!

    What can I use in place of the wine in the chicken scampi as I am allergic to any type of wine…

      I Patricia, the wine adds wonderful flavor, but you can sub with chicken stock and reduce that, but it won’t taste as good.

    I want to try this but it looked like there wasn’t enough sauce. Have you tried doubling the amount of sauce? Looks yummy though.

      Hi Jenny! It was the perfect balance for us. You’re welcome to add more sauce/ double. I haven’t tested that myself to advise on it being too much. I’d love to know how it works out if you experiment!

    This was really good! Hubby loved it too. I will definitely make again. I made recipe as it was written, other than using chicken breasts I cut into large strips. I might try adding mushrooms next time just for something different. Thanks for the wonderful recipe as usual.

      Hi Monica, I wouldn’t recommend skipping the lemon part as it brings so much flavor to the recipe. But feel free to do an experiment and see if you liked it without lemon too! Let us know how it goes if you try that.

    I add to this recipe chopped onion, green, yellow and red peppers and much more garlic. The first time I had this was at Olive Garden and I was able to duplicate it. Absolutely love it. Thanks for the reminder…need to make it again.

          Reducing the wine cooks out the alcohol and it also adds wonderful flavor. You can sub with chicken stock and reduce that but it won’t taste as good.

    First off, did your husband marry a comedienne? I’m sure he knew what he was getting into, though. 🙂

    Next, is the salt in the pasta water necessary? I’m someone who tries to cut out excess sodium from my diet because of high blood pressure. So although I may use salt in cooking when a recipe calls for it, I balk at things like adding a lot of salt to pasta water as you described here.

    Final question: How does this recipe store, like in the freezer? As a single person, I will make a full-sized recipe such as this, usually on a Sunday evening, then freeze the leftovers to have in the next few weeks as a dinner that I can just reheat in the microwave during the week.
    I made the Creamy Shrimp Pasta Recipe you posted a while back and stored the leftovers in the freezer. I think it tasted even better upon reheating those leftovers!

      Hi Steve, my husband loves me (the comedian in me and all! – ha ha!). The salt in the water is not necessary for the recipe to work and it is a good place to cut sodium if you need to. Italians strongly recommend generously salting the water to add flavor. I haven’t tried freezing this and I suspect the pasta would be a little dry, dull and bland with freezing. Creamy pasta tends to reheat a little better, but again, I haven’t tried freezing. I could be wrong.
