Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  • 8 ounces linguine, cooked according to package directions

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken pieces, salt, pepper, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and onion powder. Cook until chicken is browned on all sides and cooked through. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
  2. Reduce heat to medium. Add butter to the skillet. Once melted, add minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  3. Pour in chicken broth and heavy cream. Bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
  4. Stir in Parmesan cheese until melted and the sauce thickens slightly.
  5. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Add the cooked linguine and toss to coat everything in the sauce.
  6. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

  • For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes with the garlic.
  • If you don’t have linguine, fettuccine or spaghetti work well too.
  • This dish pairs well with a simple side salad.
