This easy weeknight pasta feel fancy but comes together in no time.

Herby Chimichurri Chicken Scampi With Burst Tomatoes

Cherry tomatoes are a favorite item to have for quick meals, especially a pan sauce for pasta. When heated in a pan they burst and create a flavorful base for this easy chicken scampi. You likely have most of the ingredients in your pantry! The sauce comes together while the pasta cooks, making this a perfect weeknight meal.

Chef Tip: Turn the heat up a bit when you add the tomatoes so they char and burst, this will create a super flavorful sauce.

Pinch

A pinch of salt is a generous three fingered pinch, and equates to about ⅛ of a teaspoon of kosher or sea salt.

Glug

Many of our recipes also call for a glug of oil, often when heating oil in a pan or lightly dressing vegetables before roasting. We don’t expect you to pull out a measuring spoon every time you go to cook (but if you want to, that’s ok!) so we estimate a glug is about 2 tablespoons worth of oil.

Sauté

French for “to jump”, sauteeing is a high-heat cooking method that is done with a minimal amount of oil and lots of movement, so things cook quickly and evenly without getting super caramelized or charred.
