Alabama Chicken Linguine Bubba Gump Recipes

Welcome, today I’m sharing a warm and cozy dish that’s been sitting on my mind ever since I first tasted it at Bubba Gump. Alabama Chicken Linguine Bubba Gump.

The early-bird menu listed it so simply grilled chicken breast, linguine, cream sauce, grape tomatoes, parmesan cheese, and garlic bread.

But the flavors felt richer, more homestyle, and a little southern in that charming Alabama way that sticks with you.

So I really wanted to bring that memory back into my kitchen, and now I’m sharing it with you in the same friendly voice I cook with every day.

Before we dive in, here’s a quick little overview I always love to give, so things feel easy to follow at a glance.

Hi, My Name is Dipenra Kumar. I am a pro chef, and I like cooking food for my friends and relatives.

My relative calls me a pro chef because I make tasty food for all of us. My friends called me Why are you not on social media I thought for 10 minutes, then I wrote an article on Google.

Cuisine: Southern American
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 25 minutes
Servings: 4

Now let’s walk into my kitchen together and make this beautiful pasta, the way I recreated it at home using the flavor clues from the reference menu.

It’s creamy, comforting, kinda fancy but still laid-back enough for a weeknight dinner. I love that kind of food so much, honestly.

This dish begins with grilled chicken, which adds a smoky, slightly charred depth that goes so well with a cream sauce.

Bubba Gump’s version keeps things simple—linguine, grape tomatoes, parmesan cheese—but as any home cook knows, simple doesn’t mean boring.

Instead, it means each ingredient needs to shine, and that’s exactly what I aim for in this version.

The cream sauce is the soul here. I make it using butter, garlic, cream, and a little broth, so it’s not too heavy.

The parmesan melts inside the sauce, and sometimes I add a pinch of Cajun seasoning because I feel like Bubba Gump sneaks that tiny southern kick into their dishes, even when it’s not listed.

Grape tomatoes brighten everything with their fresh burst, balancing the richness of the sauce.

And then there’s the garlic bread. Bubba Gump serves their pastas with a piece of garlic bread on the side, and I swear it’s the perfect finishing touch.

I always toast mine golden brown because I love dipping it straight in the sauce—no shame at all.

I know equipment lists help keep the kitchen calm, so here’s what I used while cooking this dish at home.

• Large pot – for boiling the linguine
• Medium skillet – for grilling chicken
• Saucepan – for preparing the cream sauce
• Tongs – for flipping chicken and mixing pasta

• Chef’s knife – for all the chopping
• Wooden spoon – for stirring the sauce

How to Make Alabama Chicken Linguine Bubba Gump

This is where I always like slowing down. I imagine standing with you in my kitchen, cooking together step by step.

Step 1: Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and Cajun seasoning if you enjoy a tiny southern heat, as I do.

Heat olive oil in a skillet and grill the chicken for about 6–7 minutes on each side until golden and cooked through. Set it aside to rest.

Step 2: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add linguine and cook until al dente.

Drain and set aside, leaving a little pasta water just in case you want to loosen the sauce later.

Step 3: In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté until fragrant. This moment always fills my kitchen with such a cozy smell, kinda makes me smile.

Step 4: Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth. Let the mixture simmer gently. I keep stirring because I love watching the sauce come together so softly.

Step 5: Add the grated Parmesan cheese. Stir until it melts smoothly into the sauce. Adjust the thickness with a little pasta water if needed.

Step 6: Toss in grape tomatoes and let them warm inside the sauce. They shouldn’t break down too much—just soften slightly and brighten the flavor.

Step 7: Add the cooked linguine to the sauce and coat it evenly. Sometimes I lift the pasta with tongs and swirl it around because it feels like the sauce hugs each noodle.

Step 8: Slice the rested grilled chicken and place it right on top of the sauced pasta. Sprinkle a little extra parmesan if your heart tells you so.

Step 9: Serve everything with warm garlic bread on the side. Dip, scoop, swirl—there’s no wrong way to enjoy it.

Recipe Tips

I’ve cooked this a few times to make sure it feels right, so here are some little tips I picked up:
I learned that slicing the chicken after resting keeps it super juicy. I also found that grape tomatoes bring the right sweetness, so don’t skip them even if they feel simple.

Sometimes I add a touch more broth when reheating the dish the next day because creamy pasta tends to thicken overnight.

And please don’t forget the garlic bread, because the sauce practically begs for it.
