Make a quick and delicious chicken scampi with angel hair pasta in just 20 minutes using pantry staples - ideal for a stress-free weeknight dinner.
Ingredients:
  • 1/2 pound angel hair pasta
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1/2 pound boneless, skinless chicken cutlets
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/8 teaspoon (a big pinch) crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine, such as Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, or Pinot Grigio
  • Zest and juice of 1 lemon (about 1 tablespoon of zest and 3 tablespoons of juice)
  • 1/4 cup chopped parsley
  • Lemon wedges for serving
Instructions:
  • Cook the pasta in a large pot of salted boiling water until al dente following package instructions. Save a cup of pasta cooking water. Drain the pasta.
  • In a large skillet over medium heat, melt butter with olive oil. Pat chicken dry, season with salt and black pepper, then cook for about 2 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Let the chicken rest on a cutting board while keeping the flavorful fat in the pan.
  • Create the sauce by sautéing garlic and red pepper flakes until fragrant, approximately 1 minute. Stir in wine and lemon juice, deglazing the pan, and let it simmer until reduced by half, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Serve the pasta: Combine the cooked pasta, lemon zest, parsley, and 1/2 cup of reserved pasta water in the skillet. Toss to mix. If needed, add more reserved pasta water if the sauce is too dry. Slice the chicken and mix it with the pasta. Serve with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the scampi.
