Ingredients

Scale

For the Chicken:

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • ½ cup chicken broth
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • ½ tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
  • ¼ cup heavy cream
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley

For the Parmesan Linguine:

  • 8 oz linguine
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp lemon zest

Instructions

  • Cook the Pasta: Boil linguine in salted water until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  • Prepare the Chicken: Season chicken breasts with salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.
  • Sear the Chicken: Heat olive oil and butter in a skillet over medium heat. Sear chicken for 5-6 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
  • Make the Sauce: In the same skillet, add garlic and sauté until fragrant. Pour in chicken broth, lemon juice, and red pepper flakes. Simmer for 2 minutes.
  • Add Cream and Cheese: Stir in heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, and parsley. Return chicken to the pan and simmer for 5 minutes.
  • Prepare the Linguine: In a separate pan, melt butter, then add heavy cream, Parmesan, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until smooth. Toss with cooked linguine and lemon zest.
  • Serve: Plate the linguine and top with the chicken and sauce. Garnish with parsley and extra Parmesan.

Notes

  • Use freshly grated Parmesan for the best flavor.
  • Adjust lemon juice to taste for more or less tanginess.
  • Add spinach or mushrooms for extra veggies.
