Cowboy Butter Chicken Linguine 🤠🍝

Creamy, zesty, smoky, and just the right amount of spicy.

⭐ Ingredients:

Cowboy Butter:

• 100g butter
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
• Juice of ½ lemon
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• 1 tsp chili flakes (or to taste)
• 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
• Salt & pepper to taste

Chicken + Pasta:

• 2 chicken breasts, thinly sliced
• 250g linguine
• Olive oil (for cooking)
• Salt & pepper

🔥 Instructions:

1. Cook Pasta: Boil linguine according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
2. Cook Chicken: In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high. Sear the chicken slices until golden and cooked through. Season with salt & pepper.
3. Make Cowboy Butter:
   In a separate pan, melt butter. Add garlic and let it sizzle (don’t brown it).
   Stir in mustard, lemon juice, paprika, chili flakes, parsley, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Let it simmer for a minute.
4. Combine:
   Toss in the cooked chicken and stir to coat.
   Add in the linguine and mix until everything is glossy and beautifully coated in that bold butter sauce.
5. Serve Warm: Garnish with more parsley or chili flakes if you like it extra bold. 🧄🌶️

Optional Add-Ons:

• A sprinkle of grated Parmesan
• A handful of baby spinach wilted in the butter
• Toasted breadcrumbs on top for crunch
