Delicious Cowboy Butter Chicken Linguine in 30 Minutes!
A comforting and quick meal featuring Cowboy Butter Chicken Linguine, ready in just 30 minutes!
Ingredients
- 12 ounces linguine
- 1½ pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts cut into bite-sized pieces
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon garlic salt
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
- ¼ cup cowboy butter divided
- ¾ cup heavy cream
- ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- ½ teaspoon lemon juice
- lemon slices
- chopped parsley
Instructions
- Start by boiling a large pot of salted water over high heat. Once boiling, add the linguine and cook until al dente (9-11 minutes). Drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and season with paprika, garlic salt, kosher salt, and pepper. Sear until golden brown (3-4 minutes).
- Flip the chicken and add 2 tablespoons of cowboy butter, cooking until fully cooked through (another 3-4 minutes). Remove and keep warm.
- Reduce heat to low, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of cowboy butter and the heavy cream. Add garlic salt and crushed red pepper flakes, stirring until well combined.
- Return the linguine and chicken to the skillet, tossing everything in the sauce. Stir in lemon juice to balance the flavors.
- Serve immediately, garnished with lemon slices and chopped parsley.
Notes
- Ensure the chicken is cut into even sizes for uniform cooking.
- Don't skip scraping the brown bits from the skillet to enhance flavor.
- Adjust crushed red pepper flakes to your spice preference.
- Cook the linguine until just al dente to avoid mushiness.
- Let pasta cool before storing to maintain texture.
