  • Author: Olivia Turner
  • Total Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients

– 8 oz linguine pasta
– 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 1/2 cup unsalted butter
– 4 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 tsp paprika
– 1 tsp Italian seasoning
– Salt and pepper to taste
– 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
– 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
– 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved (optional)


Instructions

Creating Quick and Easy Cowboy Butter Chicken Linguine can be quite simple when you follow these steps:

1. Cook the Pasta: Boil water in a large pot and cook the linguine according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
2. Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, paprika, and Italian seasoning.
3. Sauté Chicken: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the seasoned chicken and cook for 5-7 minutes per side, or until cooked through and golden brown. Remove the chicken and keep it warm.
4. Make the Cowboy Butter Sauce: In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for about a minute. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
5. Combine Ingredients: Add the cooked linguine to the skillet. Slice the chicken into strips and place it on top. Toss everything together to coat the pasta in the buttery sauce.
6. Add Cheddar and Tomatoes: Stir in the halved cherry tomatoes and grated Parmesan cheese. Mix until well combined.
7. Adjust Seasoning: Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary, adding more salt and pepper as desired.
8. Garnish: Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley on top before serving for added freshness and color.
