What To Serve With Chicken Scallopini – 13 Delicious Side Dishes

You’ve come to the correct spot if you’re wondering what to serve with your chicken scallopini.

In this post, I’ll discuss 13 of the most popular chicken scallopini side dishes.

In a rush? Heres the short answer.

Saffron rice, creamy tomato pasta, brown butter parmesan gnocchi, buttery garlic bread, or roasted asparagus are the greatest side dishes with chicken scallopini. For a lighter side, I prefer to offer Italian salad, arugula salad, or green bean almondine. Stuffed bell peppers make an excellent appetizer.

Ready? lets jump right in.

Creamy tomato pasta 

Chicken scallopini is a traditional Italian-American dish.

This creamy tomato spaghetti is a quick midweek supper.

This delicious pasta meal is made using common items that you most likely already have in your cupboard.

And it only takes 20 minutes to prepare, so you won’t have to slave away in the kitchen for hours over a hot stove.

Psst, add red chili flakes for an additional spicy bite.

Italian artichoke salad

One of my favorite dinners on a hot summer evening is a spicy chicken breast with a light salad.

Add some artichokes to a basic Italian salad for a quick upgrade.

(Plus, it’s a terrific way to use up those artichokes you’ve had in your cabinet for months!)

To finish this Italian artichoke salad, roasted red peppers and red onions are blended in and topped with a mild vinaigrette dressing.

Cheesy mashed potatoes

You can’t go wrong with mashed potatoes, particularly when they’re as creamy and overflowing with cheese.

The silky potatoes match the delicate, delicious chicken well, and the cheese provides just the proper amount of richness.

The mash will soak up all of the sauce from your dish, ensuring that not a single drop of taste is lost.

Three types of cheese are used in this dish. Get inside my stomach!

Brown butter gnocchi

Serve your chicken scallopini over a bed of brown butter gnocchi to round off the dinner.

The sauce from the chicken will soak into the gnocchi, adding flavor.

Then just mix in some toasted panko crumbs for crunch and a spritz of lemon juice for tanginess.

Psst, the nutty brown butter from the linked recipe goes wonderfully with roasted broccoli.

Garlicky roasted asparagus

Lets face it, vegetables can be a snooze fest.

That’s why I prefer to add some additional tastes to my vegetable sides, such as garlic and lemon.

It’s excellent, but not too elaborate that it overshadows the chicken.

Serve this smoky, garlicky roasted asparagus with your chicken scallopini for a wonderful, quick supper.

Greek farro salad

Tired of making predictable green salads?

With this vibrant Greek farro salad, you can transform your chicken scallopini into a spectacular supper.

Farro is a sort of grain, in case you were wondering. It has a deep, nutty taste that complements the lemony sauce on the chicken well.

And the texture is slightly chewy (which I love).

This salad will soon become a family favorite.

Garlic butter quinoa

Who knew a meal this easy could make your chicken scallopini taste ten times better?

This onepot wonder only involves 5 ingredients.

The quinoa is cooked in vegetable stock until frothy, and then the garlic butter is added.

This garlic butter quinoa meal is so simple to prepare that you’ll want to prepare it every night.

Green bean almondine

In a rush?

This green bean almondine takes no more than 20 minutes to prepare.

The green beans will offer a splash of color to your plate, and the almonds will add a distinct flavor to the meal (along with some crunch).

Serve the chicken and green beans with rice for a nutritious and well-balanced supper.

Heres my go-to recipe.

Saffron rice 

Saffron rice has a gorgeous golden hue and a somewhat sweet taste that will complement the stronger lemon tones in the scallopini sauce.

You may add spices like turmeric or cumin to make the taste more nuanced, or you can keep it basic with just a few garlic cloves.

I like this version with the pine nuts added for crunch.

Cheesy garlic bread

This cheesy garlic bread is a fantastic carb-y accompaniment to the chicken.

And the bread will soak up all of the remaining sauce, making it even more delicious.

Just make sure you have plenty of napkins on hand since this meal may get a bit messy between the garlic bread and the scallopini.

Arugula salad

Keep this simple with this arugula salad.

The peppery taste from the leaves keeps this from being dull, and it comes together in about 5 minutes.

When you’ve left things to the last minute, Chick Food TV’s recipe is ideal.

Stuffed bell peppers

Chicken scallopini is a simple meal that can also be dressed up for dinner parties (if accompanied with an attractive side dish!).

And stuffed peppers are a great way to amaze your visitors (or just yourself).

These multicolored delights are loaded with sturdy rice, sweet tomatoes, and zingy cilantro.

Mediterranean orzo salad

What could be better than a salad? A salad that also happens to be pasta!

This Mediterranean orzo salad is the ideal summer accompaniment to chicken scallopini.

It has all the freshness and crispness you want, but with the heartiness of pasta.

So go ahead and make this Mediterranean orzo salad with feta, olives, and spinach.
