[@belindacreviston9560]

We made this a couple nights ago, and it was a HUGE hit!!! My kids loved it, which is always a win. All I had to do was tell my kids "it's a Natasha recipe", and they were sold. They all took giant bites trying to copy your taste test 😂

[@sinaibilbao]

Aww How sweet 😊

[@houghtonjames557]

Hello 👋 how are you doing

[@sidra316]

Made this last night and devoured it. Sooo good. Used chicken broth in place of wine, added red chili flakes and Italian seasoning

[@Natashaskitchen]

That sounds delicious!

[@blackeneddove]

That’s how I would make it if I try it. Sounds yummy. 😋

[@ameliasarno1210]

Take the chicken out of the pan first, put the pasta in the pan and stir around then put in the bowl with the chicken on top. Add a little chicken broth into the pan instead of water. The pasta will not be so dry then

[@katherinechu4581]

This is the first time I thought her recipe wasn’t perfect. I’d do exactly what you said! Nobody likes dry pasta… thats why she had so much trouble chewing it

[@charleshodgdon6168]

The pasta water is for the sauce to stick to the pasta better. I agree with taking the chicken out and adding the pasta. Even cutting the chicken into smaller bites to make it more manageable. This way you can leave the chicken in while adding the pasta. Water or broth should be added to the sauce while it is cooking, not after you drained most of the sauce out.

[@_Gaby_950]

@@charleshodgdon6168 I agree with cutting the chicken up. I really don't like having to cut it up while eating

[@pattykochenower4222]

Agree! Thank you

[@caseyhoward9101]

If coating the chicken in the sauce is really what's desired I would do what she did then take the chicken out. Then I would do what you said and add the pasta.

[@ThePuppetStories3354]

This dish looks amazing. I am actually cooking it for my wife's birthday tonight. I have actually watched this video like 7 or 8 times to make sure I get it spot on. Thanks for sharing.

That’s exciting! Happy Birthday to her and I hope she loves whatever you make for her. 😊

Oh my goodness I am so excited! I have been obsessed with pasta dishes lately and am always on the lookout for new recipes! This looks fantastic 😍

[@Natashaskitchen]

Perfect timing! I hope you love this new recipe 😊

[@charitys.3862]

Absolutely cant wait.... I cook one of your recepies about 3 nights a week. Just got done with cooking shrimp the way you do for shrimp tacos. With panko bread crumbs, and saute them in frying pan. My husband loves it that way! So simple but probably would have never thought of it on my own. Lol also Im using the lemon aioli sauce to dip it in, leftover from making the shrimp cakes you make. DELICIOUS!!

That’s nice to know! I hope you’ll love all the recipes that you will try ❤️

I would definitely double the sauce, too. That pasta looked dry whether it’s fully coated or not. Just my preference, not being picky. I want to dunk bread in there! 😋 yum.

[@LogicalVelocity]

Just tried this recipe as my son loves Italian food so Tuesday's I try a different recipe. So glad I found this. I made it, it was very quick and my son ate 3 plates of it! The chicken came out really tasty and juicy. Not dry at all. I added a bit of smoked paprika to the flour dredge along with some red chili flakes and ground pepper. I ended up drinking the rest of the bottle of wine so typing this with a slight buzz. I will have to add this into my rotation of recipes.

[@Natashaskitchen]

That’s wonderful! So glad you came upon the recipe.

[@KrystelleB64]

I made this for my family two nights ago, when I first discovered Natasha's video! The family loved the chicken pieces, however, we all felt that the "sauce" was sorely lacking. It had a very nice lemon zestiness to it, but it wasn't "sticking" to the pasta. I'd much rather have had a "creamy" sauce!

If we don't want wine what can we replace the wine plz.

[@carlosdanger2586]

It looks like it might need a little bit more sauce

[@NinaBaby210]

Is that wrong to say; I don’t know? I don’t think so, and I agree….But that can be easily remedied by just doubling or tripling the “scampi sauce” ingredients, I would think.

[@dollskull86]

Yessss!!! I love extra sauce!! It makes the dish so much heartier! 😋

[@monkeygraborange]

If you add about a half cup of the pasta water to the sauce, it’ll emulsify while you stir it and give you a thicker sauce, and more of it.

[@metalbunnE]

@@monkeygraborange Agree, but I prefer low sodium chicken broth instead of the salted water. :]

Hello Natasha, what else can I use besides dry white wine for the sauce???? Can I use chicken both instead? If so how much (tablespoon,cups) for the scampi sauce?

[@mooimavundla6625]

Yes, use the same measurement☺️

[@louisethursfield8934]

You can use chicken stock but you won't get the sweetness you would get from the wine , any alcohol will evaporate as it reduces so you just get flavour , you could also use a pear cider

@@louisethursfield8934 she said to use a dry white wine which has no sugar added. So the chicken broth is a good substitute

[@ursulathomas113]

it is like so much fun without the much

When we say it that way, ‘fun’ is an adjective. Saying ‘such fun’ makes fun a noun. Just a different form of the word. Like saying something is ‘so beautiful’ instead of saying something has ‘such beauty’.

“Scampi” means “shrimp” in Italian, by the way.

[@Aname87]

Lol we know what she means tho 😂

[@robertunderwood8652]

Yeah but she still should buy a clue. It's not scampi. There's no scampi in it. Scampi is shrimp. The might be called a chicken piccata or chicken in butter and garlic sauce but it's definitely not "chicken scampi" as that's nonsensical. She must have learned her Italian cuisine at Olive Garden which is NOT an Italian restaurant.

[@midnight1308]

@@robertunderwood8652 Chill with your attitude. Maybe you should buy a clue because when you substitute chicken for shrimp in a scampi, you can still call it chicken scampi in ENGLISH does not mean that scampi is no longer shrimp in italian. Search it up. Again, chill with y’all’s attitude

PS- after reading the comments below regarding maybe not enough sauce, here's what I did.. Added some pasta water after the butter melted and cooked it down a pinch. Then followed the rest of the recipe EXCEPT I dumped my pasta into the sauce first, tossed it around, then added the chicken and tossed it around with the pasta!! Soooo delicious!! ❤
