Follow these simple steps to prepare your Quick and Easy Cowboy Butter Chicken Linguine:

1. Cook the Pasta: Begin by cooking the linguine according to package instructions in a large pot of salted boiling water. Drain and set aside when done.

2. Sauté Chicken: In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Once hot, add the diced chicken breast. Season with salt, pepper, and paprika. Cook for about 5-7 minutes or until the chicken is browned and cooked through.

3. Prepare the Cowboy Butter Sauce: Reduce the heat to low. Add the butter to the skillet, then toss in the minced garlic. Stir until the garlic becomes fragrant and slightly golden, about 1-2 minutes.

4. Combine Ingredients: Pour in the lemon juice, stirring to combine with the chicken and butter sauce.

5. Mix in the Pasta: Add the drained linguine to the skillet. Toss well to coat the pasta in the cowboy butter sauce and mix with the chicken.

6. Final Seasoning: Taste the pasta and adjust the seasoning as needed, adding more salt, pepper, or lemon juice if desired.

7. Serve: Once everything is well mixed and heated through, remove from the heat.
