Creating Creamy Cowboy Butter Chicken Linguine is easy if you follow these steps:

1. Cook the Linguine: In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the linguine according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. Sauté the Chicken: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the diced chicken, salt, and pepper. Cook for 5-7 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
3. Prepare the Sauce: In the same skillet, melt the remaining butter. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
4. Add Cream and Cheese: Slowly pour in the heavy cream, stirring constantly. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Then, add the grated Parmesan cheese, paprika, and Italian seasoning. Stir well until the cheese melts, creating a creamy sauce.
5. Combine Ingredients: Return the chicken to the skillet and mix it in with the sauce. Then, add the cooked linguine, tossing until every strand is coated in the creamy sauce.
6. Adjust Seasoning: Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and additional pepper, if desired.
7. Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat, garnishing with chopped parsley before serving.
