Ingredients

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, diced

3 tablespoons butter, divided

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon olive oil

Salt and black pepper, to taste

¼ cup fresh parsley, chopped

½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

¼ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Juice of 1 lemon

Instructions

1. Cook the Linguine:

Cook the linguine according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

2. Cook the Chicken:

While the pasta is cooking, heat 1 tablespoon of butter and the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Season the diced chicken with salt and pepper. Add the chicken to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden and cooked through.

Reduce the heat to medium. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter, minced garlic, and red pepper flakes (if using) to the skillet.

Sauté for 1-2 minutes, until the garlic is fragrant.

4. Combine and Toss:

Add the cooked linguine to the skillet with the garlic butter mixture.

Sprinkle in the Parmesan cheese, lemon juice, and chopped parsley.

Toss everything together until the pasta is well coated and the cheese is slightly melted.
