  • 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)

  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • ½ tsp garlic powder

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.

  • 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.
