Chicken scampi is a delightful dish that draws inspiration from the classic shrimp scampi but uses tender chicken breast instead. It’s the perfect blend of buttery garlic sauce, fresh herbs, and a touch of lemon that makes this a family favorite. This low carb version swaps out the traditional pasta for zucchini noodles, keeping it light and healthy without sacrificing any of the rich flavors. It’s a perfect dish for busy weeknights or a special family dinner.
This low carb chicken scampi pairs wonderfully with a simple side salad dressed with a light vinaigrette to balance the flavors. For an extra veggie boost, you can offer steamed broccoli or roasted asparagus. And for those who aren’t counting carbs, a slice of crusty garlic bread on the side would be delicious for soaking up the savory sauce.
