Fall is here. I can’t wait to make all those sweet, warm, and delicious comfort foods. To me, Fall is the best time for early morning walks while admiring the foliage, sipping a warm cup of tea while reading at night. I hope you are as ready as I am to welcome this season.
A creamy chicken and shrimp scampi is the perfect way to welcome the autumn of 2018
Marjie’s Creamy Chicken and Shrimp Scampi
Ingredients
2 chicken breasts
½ lb. raw shrimp
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 Tbsp butter
1 onion, finely chopped
1 large tomato, diced
3 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 cup white wine
2 Tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
½ cup chicken broth
¼ cup heavy whipping cream
½ cup half and half
½ tsp. paprika
¼ tsp salt
1 tsp of six pepper seasoning blend
Preparation
Cut both chicken breasts lengthwise into pieces about ¼ inch thick. Season with salt and pepper seasoning. In a large skillet on med/high heat, add oil, once hot, add the chicken. Sauté the chicken until they are fully cooked.
Remove them from the skillet, add 1 Tbsp butter and the shrimp to the skillet. Cook for about 2-3 minutes, or until the shrimp is cooked. Remove from the skillet.
In the same skillet, sauté the onions for about 3 minutes, stirring as needed until onions are tender.
Add the tomatoes, minced garlic, wine and cook for another 5 minutes.
Add the broth, heavy whipping cream, half and half and the seasonings. Stir and simmer 2-3 minutes, until the sauce starts to thicken.
Add in the chicken and shrimp back to the skillet. Add the parsley, and cook until the chicken and the shrimp are reheated.
I serve it with rice and peas.
I would love to hear from you. What would you serve with this creamy sauce?
Like you said, fall is here – and what a great recipe for these days!
I am ready to enjoy Fall, Andrea, hope you are too.
I’ll be sending this recipe right over to my husband, our resident cook! We love shrimp dishes and we’re always looking for new things to add to our menu.
Perfect, Meg!
Yes! This looks amazing. I am obsessed with shrimp scampi and I’m definitely going to give this a try!!
Let me know, Aryn!
Even if I don’t eat animals, I does look delicious! And simple to do too ?
Thanks for sharing with us this recipe!
Mihok, please share some great Veggies with me.
You had me at chicken and shrimp. That meal looks so good. Do you think it can be made using a crock pot instead?
It’s always good to try new ways to make food, I will try and let you know, Nakeya!
I absolutely love shrimp. The only thing that could ever make it better is adding a bit of chicken and a creamy sauce like you did here. Thank you for helping me plan my next meal! LOL!
You are welcome, Ola!
This looks amazing! I love shrimp scampi but it’s something I’ve never tried at home. My boys don’t eat much seafood, so adding the chicken gives us all something to enjoy in the dish.
Oh no, Stephanie, my girls and I could eat seafood every day.
This recipe looks so yummy and savory. I love the items that you’ve paired it with. I can’t wait to give this recipe a try.
Simple and delicious, Tasheena!
I’m going to have to share this recipe with my husband for the next time I am away! I don’t do shellfish, but he and our girls almost always have shrimp when I am out of town because they all (unlike me) love it!
Hope they like it, Flossie, we love seafood at my house, if you come over, we will make sure not make it lol.
Yummy!!! I like the idea of serving it with rice and peas but my first thought was pasta 🙂 I’ll have to try this this fall. Thanks!
You could never go wrong with pasta, Cassie. Pasta, seafood, and a glass of wine, and I am in heaven.
I love comfort foods in the fall, and this looks amazing. I would definitely use the creamy sauce as I really do love creamy sauces.
Same here, Jessica!
This looks so good. I can not wait to try this. My family is going to love it.
Try and let me know, April!
Wow! This Creamy Chicken and Shrimp Scampi perfect dish for rainy season I love it!
Absolutely, Maysz!
Looks like a perfect dish for the weekend that my sea-food loving friends would love to savour.Will pass onto them! Unfortunately, I am a Vegan 😀
Thanks for sharing, Meenakshi, I am learning a lot of Vegan dishes, I will share soon.
I have never had a shrimp scampi before but this looks so yummy. Thanks for sharing the recipe. Will try for sure.
Thanks, Deepa!
This looks so good!! And easy to follow too! I’ll definitely be trying it this week. Thanks for sharing!!

My dishes have to be easy, simple, and delicious, Bethany.
This sounds delicious! I haven’t mixed shrimp and chicken before. I like that you served it with rice!
It’s a good mix, Angela!
These sounds so delicious! I love Fall weather cooking and this looks like something the entire family will LOVE!!!
Same here, Angela!
Hello, delicious meal made from my favorite things. This is one of those meals I’d order in a restaurant in a heartbeat, but never thought of making at home. Your recipes so easy to follow I have to give it a try!
Try and let me know, Nadalie, whenever I go to a restaurant, I always try to recreate the meals that I like.
I am not a shrimp person but that looks soo good
One of my besties does not like shrimp and ice cream, and I always tease her because I could do shrimp every day, Cecilia
Yes, I am definitely ready for all things fall this season – I get more excited the older I get. This sauce looks like it could work for so many things. Yep, I get excited about cooking in the fall! 😉
Same for me, Shan, Fall is the perfect season to enjoy all those delicious meals made with love.
Now that the season has changed, I’m going to be cooking my little heart out. All summer, order-in was my best friend but now I’m ready to get down with soups and stews and roasts and oh my!
I agree with you, Patranilla, I can’t wait to make some delicious stews and soups.
Mmm this dish looks so delicious! This is perfect for this season 🙂 I need to make it!
I hope you like it, Kim!
Oh my gosh, this dish so declines. I can’t wait to make it for my sisters when they come over.
That will be a nice treat for them, Glenda!
That truly sounds wonderful! I must try it.
Try and let me know, Sarah!
This looks super yummy. I can’t wait to try this recipe out!!! Thanks!
Hope you like it, Holly!
Can’t go wrong with seafood, I love it! My kids like pasta and since they are less likely to get it on the floor, it would be my go to with this dish!
I hope they like it, Tameka!
