Olive Garden Chicken Scampi Copycat Recipe with Pasta

Donna Elick — Sun, 10 Aug 2025 22:00:00 +0000

This copycat recipe for Olive Garden Chicken Scampi is even better than the original! Bright, buttery, and creamy white wine sauce coats every piece of tender pasta and veggies, making the perfect base for juicy, seared chicken. And you don’t lose any bit of flavor since the chicken and sauce are cooked in the same pan!

I’m a big fan of this chicken scampi pasta recipe. It’s a complete meal loaded with tender chicken, and my entire family enjoys eating it.

Not only is it is popular dish in my house, but it’s literally like bringing a restaurant favorite right into your home!

Out of all the chicken pasta recipes that I make, using the thin angel hair pasta with fresh vegetables is what makes this one of my favorite pasta dishes.

Every bite has a ton of flavor without having to do a lot of work! There’s a reason that even picky eaters love this pasta dish!

This is one of the more popular recipes on the site, and I think you’ll agree. Follow the recipe card below to make this easy chicken scampi recipe – you can’t go wrong with the flavor!

Chicken Scampi

This Olive Garden chicken scampi recipe is everything you want in a restaurant-quality meal, but easily prepared from the comfort of your own kitchen!

Juicy, breaded chicken is pan-fried until crispy, then served over perfectly cooked pasta with bell peppers, onions, and a silky white wine cream sauce.

And if you’re trying to cut back on pasta, there are plenty more Olive Garden favorites to try.

From my Chicken Margherita recipe or a classic chicken parm to comforting chicken gnocchi soup, there’s something for everyone.

Did you know you can make scampi with shrimp too?

My version mimics the Red Lobster recipe, so there’s a little extra kick from the Old Bay seasoning — more New England than Italian, but just as delicious!

Tips for Making Copycat Olive Garden Chicken Scampi

Dredge the tenderloins before pan-frying.

Yes, it’s a little extra work, but the results are so worth it! A double dip in seasoned flour and milk adds just enough coating to get the outside browned and crispy.

That extra texture with the tender pasta and velvety sauce makes for one outstanding chicken scampi!

Follow the package instructions when making the pasta.

Angel hair cooks fast, so pay close attention to the cooking time listed on the box.

While al dente is preferred — that means there’s still a hint of bite to the noodle — you can add a minute or two if you prefer your noodles more tender.

Reserve some of that pasta water too! You can store it in the refrigerator, then use it to get leftover Olive Garden chicken scampi back to the perfect consistency.

Storing and Reheating Leftover Chicken Scampi

If you plan on eating leftovers within a day, you can store everything in the same airtight container. Otherwise, keep the pasta separate from the meat and sauce.

Warm leftover chicken scampi in a skillet on the stove, adding splashes of chicken broth (or that reserved pasta water I mentioned) to help loosen the sauce.

You can also cook just enough angel hair pasta for the meal, then make a fresh batch for leftovers!

Kitchen Tools You Will Need

Large Skillet – To ensure there’s enough room to sear the chicken, a wide skillet works best.
Large Pot and Strainer for the pasta
Shallow Bowls for dredging
Quality Knives and a big solid Cutting Board make prepping a breeze and are well worth the investment.

Olive Garden Chicken Scampi Recipe FAQ

What is chicken scampi at Olive Garden made of?

According to their menu, the dish features “chicken sauteed with fresh bell peppers and red onions in a creamy scampi sauce. Served over angel hair pasta.”

So, exactly the same as our copycat Olive Garden chicken scampi recipe!

Can I use cooking wine to make chicken scampi?

Please don’t! Cooking wine is cheap, often bitter, and loaded with preservatives, sweeteners, and salt.

Simply put — it will ruin the flavor of the dish and may cause your sauce to break.

Instead, grab a bottle of real wine. It doesn’t have to be expensive either! A good rule is to cook with something you enjoy drinking on its own.

What makes a scampi a scampi?

Scampi is another name for langoustine, which is a large prawn. However, the term can also refer to the preparation method!

The popular Italian-American dish, shrimp scampi, features shellfish served in a sauce made from garlic butter, white wine, and parmesan cheese.

Variations have been made with chicken, lobster, and scallops, so scampi usually refers to any dish featuring a buttery garlic white wine sauce.

Enjoy!

Easy Orange White Wine Sangria (10 Minute Recipe)

Donna Elick — Thu, 26 Jun 2025 22:05:00 +0000

Wine and Orange Juice are a staple addition to any spring brunch. With this recipe and a few, simple ingredients, you can combine them into one refreshing orange sangria! This is perfect on a hot summer day! You’ll love the citrus flavors, perfect for summer parties, a backyard barbecue, and more!

The first time that you make this perfect drink, you’ll want a little bit more. I don’t blame you, at all.

Orange is one of my favorite fruits – and I love sipping this on a hot day. Plus, it’s a super simple recipe to make using crisp white wine.

I always use my favorite white wine when making this particular recipe, so there is a chance that you can vary the wine so that it tastes a bit differently each time.

This is the perfect cocktail for a wine drinker or anyone who loves having fruit as a main ingredient.

You can easily make this for dinner parties, summer mocktails for the warmer months, or as easy recipes to share with family and close friends.

This is a simple fruity sangria full of citrus fruits! Top with some fresh mint, and you’ve got quite the drink.

Gather the simple ingredients needed to make this easy white wine sangria recipe – it’s a good one!

Wine and Orange Juice Recipe

Tangy, sweet, and lightly spiced, this refreshing white wine and orange juice drink will complement any Mother’s Day celebration.

In fact, you can make a batch to enjoy every weekend if you like!

The recipe is incredibly simple, and any well-stocked bar and pantry will already have everything needed to put this together.

Looking for more spring cocktail ideas? You’ll love this bubbly Raspberry Lemon Prosecco cocktail.

Or, my Berry Moscato Sangria recipe can be adapted for the non-alcoholic crowd.

Tips for Making White Wine and Orange Juice Drinks

Choose a bottle of wine that you love.

I used a Reisling because I prefer sweeter varieties for this type of drink, but any white wine will do.

The important thing is to use something that you enjoy drinking by itself — more the most expensive bottle doesn’t always mean better!

Pick the best white wine, and see if it makes your ideal drink. If not, you can change it the next time and try something new.

Get out every last drop!

When juicing citrus, it helps to roll the fruit back and forth across the counter while gently pressing with the palm of your hand. Think like a rolling pin.

Heat can help too, so be sure the oranges are at room temperature before using them.

Want to use bottled juice instead?

Stick with brands that are 100% fruit juice over those that are from concentrate.

Not only will there be less sugar (or none at all!), but you’ll avoid any strange or bitter aftertaste in your wine and orange juice mixture.

Garnish Ideas for Orange Juice and White Wine

Want to add a pretty touch to your wine glasses? All you need are some extra fruit slices and cinnamon sticks.

Make wine and orange juice drinks look extra fancy with a curl of candied orange peel. Even a sprig of mint or basil would be a nice touch!

Kitchen Tools You Will Need

Large Pitcher – This 80-ounce pitcher is simple enough for everyday use and allows your sangria orange drink to be the star of the show.
Citrus Juicer – This gets every last drop out, which means juicing fruit is so much easier.
Cheesecloth and Kitchen Twine – Use these to form a pouch for the spices so you don’t have to fish them out of the white wine and orange juice later.

Filter bags for loose tea would work as well.

Sangria Orange FAQ

What is triple sec?

It is a sweet liqueur with a concentrated orange flavor, and this is where you want to splurge for the best results!

There are a lot of low-quality versions that use extra sugar to mask poor flavor, which can ruin a whole batch of this orange juice and white wine drink.

Can I make citrus sangria ahead of time?

You can absolutely mix up the orange sangria the night before! Just be sure to remove the spice packet before heading to bed.

Otherwise, the flavor will be too strong. The spices should stay in the pitcher of orange juice and white wine for no longer than 2 hours total.

What other fruit can I add to a white wine sangria?

The options are a bit limited because of the added spices in this sangria orange recipe, but I think peaches would taste delicious!

The fruit should be on the firmer side so it doesn’t disintegrate in the liquid, or simply add a splash of peach juice or schnapps.

Can I make this using sparkling water instead of wine and alcohol?

I don’t see why not. It wouldn’t be a fruity white wine sangria recipe any longer, but using a lemon soda, club soda, ginger ale, or soda water could be a fun twist for those who are under 21! Just add some fresh fruit, and you’ve got a drink for the summer months for the kids!

Enjoy!

Sweet Sangria Recipe Tips and Tricks

Ready to make this easy sangria recipe? Here are a few tips on how to perfect this fruity wine cocktail!

Macerate the fruit.

Adding sugar to the berries is what brings out the natural juices, giving your berry sangria an intense fruity flavor.

Otherwise, the drink will just taste like sweet wine without the vibrant flavors of the berries. So, please don’t skip this step!

Create your favorite blend.

Most berries or citrus fruits will work well in this summer sangria recipe, so play around with the ingredients and create a new flavor to enjoy.

Use any kinds of fruit you have — oranges, limes, apples, pineapples, mangos, peaches, watermelon, cantaloupe, and cherries are just a few ideas.

Summer Sangria Recipe FAQ

What’s the difference between Moscato and sweet wine?

Moscato is an Italian wine, made from Muscat grapes. It’s sweet and slightly sparkling, making it a popular dessert wine.

As it’s very light pink or white in color, Moscato wine is often used to make pink sangria recipes for spring and summer events.

How far in advance can you make Moscato sangria?

It’s fine to make this summer sangria recipe up to 8 hours in advance.

Any longer than that, and the fruit will start to become limp and unappealing. I prefer just 2 hours myself.

Can you make sangria with frozen fruit?

It’s not the best idea to use frozen fruit for berry sangria. Fresh fruit holds up well as it sits in the wine, while frozen fruit tends to become mushy and not nearly as appetizing.

Plus, if you use fresh fruit in this sweet sangria recipe, you can munch on it as you are sipping on the drink!

Enjoy!

Mimosa Champagne Jello Shots (New Years Eve Recipe)

Donna Elick — Sun, 08 Dec 2024 22:00:00 +0000

These Champagne Jello Shots are topped with sweet whipped cream and fresh orange slices, making them an absolute hit! These beautiful, eye-catching mimosa Jello shots are bursting with flavors of orange and champagne. Perfect for bachelorette parties, or any special occasion!

Whether you’re enjoying them for Christmas, New Year’s Eve shots, or a typical weekend brunch, these orange Jello shots are the perfect shots for any celebration.

They’re the perfect way to make fancy jello shots right at home!

The flavor of these champagne jell-o shots are so yummy, and are just so much fun to enjoy.

All you need are a few simple ingredients to get started, and these will be the perfect festive touch for extra fun.

Don’t forget to grab some small plastic cups to put these classy jello shots into. It’s a simple spin on a cocktail recipe that is anything but cookie cutter.

New recipes like this are the best way to celebrate with flavor! Find out how easy it is to make these boozy jello shots today – you’ll be hooked!

Champagne Jello Shots

Imagine everything there is to love about mimosas: the sweet, citrusy taste of orange juice and the classy, celebratory nature of champagne.

Mimosa Jello shots bring all of these qualities together in a fun and creative way!

These champagne Jello shots are super convenient too — make them in advance and simply pull them out of the fridge once you’re ready to serve them.

But why stop at Christmas and New Year’s? There’s a Jello shot recipe for every occasion.

My festive Red White and Blue version is perfect for your 4th of July celebrations, and Bahama Mama will be a hit at your next summer pool party!

Champagne Jello Ingredient Notes

Gelatin – A standard mimosa recipe contains two basic ingredients: orange juice and champagne.

I use orange-flavored gelatin mix in this recipe to get the same sweet, citrusy flavor that the juice has — which also allows for maximum champagne Jello!
Champagne – You can use any champagne of your choice, depending on what you like best. Pick up a bottle of champagne the next time you’re at the grocery store.

However, I recommend using a dry champagne because it isn’t too sweet. It will complement the orange juice nicely without adding to the sweetness.
Hot Water – Boiling water is essential to getting the champagne Jello mixture to dissolve properly.
Cold Water – This will cool the gelatin mixture down so that it can begin to set.
Optional Ingredients – Whipped cream and orange slices are the perfect garnishes for these orange Jello shots.

Whatever you want to add to the top of these champagne shots is perfect. Silver sprinkles, sanding sugar, edible gold leaf paper – the sky is the limit!

While these garnishes are optional, I wouldn’t recommend skipping them — they’re tasty, cute, and so fun!

They can be served at engagement parties, New Years eve parties, at a wedding shower, Oscar parties – and more!

Tips for Making Mimosa Jello Shots

Use an Injector.

This tool will make filling the shot cups a quick and easy process. It also guarantees that your kitchen stays mess-free.

However, if you don’t have an injector, a pourable measuring cup should do the trick.

Watch Your Alcohol Amount.

Be careful not to exceed ½ cup of champagne. Adding too much alcohol can cause the gelatin to not set properly.

You need to have firm gelatin to be sure that this easy champagne jello shots recipe sets properly to be able to enjoy.

Add Garnishes Right Before Serving.

If you do want to add either of the optional garnishes, timing is key!

Since you’ll want your garnishes to be as fresh as possible, do not add them until you’re ready to serve or your shots will be mushy.

Serve Chilled.

These gelatin shots are best served chilled, just like the mimosas that they were based on.

You can keep them in the fridge until it’s close to serving time, and they will be easy to grab and go with how they’re packaged in plastic shot cups.

Kitchen Tools You Will Need

2-ounce Plastic Shot Cups – You can usually find these at the store in large packs, so you’ll have plenty of cups to make a batch for a big party.
Mixing Bowls – I like to have a variety of sizes on hand, and this set has them all.
Injector or Pourable Measuring Cup – I use my 8-cup Pyrex measuring cup for tasks like this.
Small Baking Sheet – A tray will make it easy to pop your Jello shots in and out of the fridge when you’re leaving them to set.

Orange Jello Shots FAQ

Are champagne Jello shots strong?

Champagne typically has an alcohol percentage of about 12%, so these shots won’t taste as strong as other recipes made with hard liquor.

But, they are nonetheless a fun and memorable treat that every mimosa lover will enjoy!

Can you put edible glitter in gelatin shots?

Yes, edible glitter can be added to these orange Jello shots to give them a beautiful shimmery finish — it’s a great way to mimic the bubbles of the champagne!

You can stir a little bit of glitter into your Jello mixture before it sets, or sprinkle some on top after the orange shots have fully set.

How long does it take Jello shots to set?

Since these orange shots only have one layer, they’ll be set and ready to slurp in about 2 hours.

Be sure to leave room for garnishes. If you fill the cups all the way, it will also take a bit longer to set.

Storing Orange Shots with Champagne

Without garnishes, champagne Jello shots will last for approximately 2 weeks in the fridge. Be sure to place the lids on the shot cups for best results.

You should never freeze Jello shots — it will completely ruin the texture. Plus, these are so easy to make, there’s really no need!

Enjoy!

Ingredients

3 ounces orange Jello mix
1 cup boiling water
1/2 cup champagne See Notes
1/4 cup cold water
whipped cream optional
orange slices optional

Instructions

Place the orange jello mix in a medium mixing bowl and add the boiling water. Stir with a spoon until the gelatin dissolves.
Add the cold water and champagne and stir again.
Line up your shot cups on a baking sheet or moveable flat surface.
Using an injector or pourable measuring cup, fill each shot cup ¾ of the way full.
Transfer the tray of Jello shots to the fridge. Chill for 2 hours or until gelatin is set. If you won’t be serving them right away, cover the shot cups with lids and store them in the fridge.
Before serving, garnish each cup with optional whipped cream and an orange slice. Enjoy!

Notes

If you decide to add the garnishes, do not add them until you’re ready to serve the shots.

These shots will keep in the fridge for about 2 weeks, without garnishes added. If storing, be sure to place the lids on the shots and do not add garnishes.

Be careful going over ½ cup champagne as alcohol can cause the Jello to not set up.

I use an injector because it’s quicker and less messy. However, a pourable measuring cup works as well.
