A creamy and spicy pasta dish featuring thinly sliced chicken breast, garlic, and a flavorful cowboy butter sauce.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 boneless chicken breasts, sliced thin
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili flakes
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 lb linguine pasta
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 tablespoon chopped chives
  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
  • Salt to taste
  • Freshly grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

Instructions

  1. Cook the linguine in salted boiling water until al dente. Drain and reserve 1/2 cup pasta water.
  2. Season chicken with paprika, chili flakes, salt, and pepper. In a skillet, heat olive oil and sear chicken slices until golden and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, melt butter. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute. Stir in Dijon mustard, lemon juice, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, red pepper flakes, parsley, and chives. Cook 1–2 minutes until fragrant.
  4. Return chicken to the skillet. Toss in cooked linguine and a splash of reserved pasta water. Mix until coated in buttery goodness.
  5. Adjust salt if needed. Serve hot, topped with extra herbs and Parmesan if desired.

Notes

  • Swap linguine with gluten-free pasta for a gluten-free version.
  • Use ghee instead of butter for a deeper, nutty aroma.
  • Marinate chicken in lemon and herbs 30 mins before cooking for added depth.
