  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter

Instructions

  1. Cook the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.

  7. Stir in Parmesan, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Toss cooked linguine in the sauce.
  8. Serve chicken over Parmesan linguine and enjoy!

Notes

  • Use freshly grated Parmesan for the best flavor.
  • Add spinach or sun-dried tomatoes for extra texture.
  • Substitute heavy cream with half-and-half for a lighter version.
