Print Recipe

A delightful dish that combines tender chicken breasts with a rich butter sauce, garlic, and spices, perfect for family dinners or entertaining.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large chicken breasts (boneless, skinless)
  • 8 oz linguine pasta
  • ½ cup unsalted butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Freshly grated Parmesan cheese, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, smoked paprika, and onion powder. In a skillet over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter and add the chicken. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side until fully cooked. Remove chicken and let it rest.
  2. In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the linguine according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add the remaining butter. Once melted, add minced garlic, crushed red pepper flakes (if using), thyme, and parsley. Cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Pour in the chicken broth and lemon juice, letting it simmer for a few minutes.
  4. Slice the cooked chicken and add it to the skillet with the sauce. Toss in the cooked linguine and mix well until everything is coated in the sauce.
  5. Plate the Cowboy Butter Chicken Linguine and sprinkle with freshly grated Parmesan cheese for a delicious finish.

Notes

Serve warm with extra parsley and Parmesan cheese. It pairs well with a fresh salad or garlic bread.
