Jacked-Up Chicken Scampi
This Jacked-Up Chicken Scampi with Linguine is my fresh take on a classic Italian dish. This chicken scampi bursts with mouth-watering flavors like bright lemon, perfectly al dente linguine and cooked down tomatoes.

Ingredients
- 4 tablespoon butter unsalted
- 1 pound chicken breast boneless and skinless, cut into small cubes
- 1 onion chopped
- 5 cloves garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 1 cup white wine I used a dry white wine
- 2 cups chicken stock
- 1 tablespoon hot sauce
- 2 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 12 ounce linguine uncooked
- ½ cup cherry tomatoes halved or quartered
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped for garnish
- ¼ cup Parmesan Cheese grated
Instructions
- Melt the butter in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until no longer pink, about 5 minutes.
- Add the onion, garlic, oregano and red pepper flakes to the pot and cook for 5 more minutes, or until the onion begins to soften and becomes translucent.
- Add the wine, chicken stock, hot sauce, lemon juice and linguine. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 8 minutes, or until the linguine is al dente. If you feel that more liquid is necessary, add ½ cup of chicken broth at a time until the pasta is cooked to your preference.
- Stir in the tomatoes and garnish with parsley and Parmesan cheese.
Cup of Yum
Notes
- This is relatively a very spicy dish. To reduce the amount of heat, just cut down the amount of red pepper flakes or hot sauce used.
- Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
