Chicken and Shrimp with pasta in wine and garlic sauce



I made this the other night and the hubby loved it! Thanks to the help from A, who gave me this, this is a great and tasty dish. Its easy to do and very flexible to work with.


You can grill the chicken, I would marinate it first if you're going to grill it.

Marinate the chicken in 1 tsp olive oil, chopped garlic, white wine, salt pepper, lemon juice and a splash of Worcestershire sauce.

Grill the chicken and then slice or cut into chunks.


For the sauce,

1 tbsp olive oil

1-2 tablespoons butter

1-2 tbsp flour
chicken broth

white wine

lemon juice

garlic- lots of it!


put olive oil and 1 tbsp butter in pan...allow to heat up and butter to melt

Add garlic and saute for a minute or so. DO NOT allow it to brown or burn!!!!
If you did not grill the chicken you should add it now. I would flour it lightly with flour, garlic powder, salt and pepper.
If you did grill the chicken then you add white wine, about 1/4 to 1/2 cup...make sure pan is really hot before adding it.
Then add chicken broth and mix together.

Add a squirt of lemon juice, not too much, and even a dash of Worcestershire sauce.Take remaining pats of butter and "dip" them in flour to coat them. Then put in pant and whisk to melt...it should thicken your sauce a bit.Add shrimp and grilled chicken and saute for a few minutes.
If you're serving over pasta, cook pasta in chicken broth and just before it's done add about 1/4 of pasta and one or two ladles of pasta water/broth to the sauce. The pasta will help thicken the sauce and it will cook a bit more in the sauce. Once the rest of the pasta is done, toss all together and enjoy!
