Instructions
Creating Cowboy Butter Chicken Linguine is simple. Follow these steps to ensure success:
1. Cook the Pasta: In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the linguine according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. Prepare the Chicken: Season the diced chicken with salt, pepper, paprika, oregano, and onion powder. Mix to ensure even coating.
3. Melt the Butter: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter until bubbly.
4. Cook the Chicken: Add the seasoned chicken to the skillet and cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 7-10 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
5. Add Garlic: Once the chicken is cooked, add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
6. Incorporate Sauces: Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, and heavy cream, mixing well until combined.
7. Simmer: Allow the sauce to simmer for about 5 minutes until it thickens slightly. Stir in the chopped parsley and Parmesan cheese, mixing well.
8. Combine with Pasta: Add the drained linguine to the skillet, tossing gently to coat the pasta with the sauce and chicken.
9. Adjust Seasoning: Taste and adjust the seasoning as desired, adding more salt or pepper if needed.
10. Serve Hot: Remove from heat and serve immediately, garnished with additional parsley and parsley if desired.
