How to Make Lemon Garlic Butter Chicken served with Creamy Parmesan Linguine

Ingredients

  • 1 pound of boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • Zest and juice of 1 lemon
  • 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 3 tablespoons butter, divided
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • Fresh chopped parsley for garnish
  • 8 oz linguine
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Fresh chopped parsley for garnish

Directions

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to boil and cook the linguine until al dente. Once done, drain and set aside.
  2. In a mixing bowl, toss the chicken pieces with lemon zest, lemon juice, Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, and pepper until well coated.

  4. In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium and melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1–2 minutes until fragrant but not browned.
  5. Stir in the heavy cream and let the mixture simmer. Season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Allow the sauce to bubble for a few minutes until it starts to thicken.
  6. Add the Parmesan cheese to the sauce and stir continuously until it melts into a creamy mixture.
  7. Add the cooked linguine to the skillet, gently tossing with the sauce until each strand is coated.
  8. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and mix everything together. Finish with a generous handful of chopped parsley. Serve hot and enjoy the zesty buttery goodness!
