Creating Cowboy Butter Chicken Linguine is a breeze if you follow these simple steps:

1. Cook the Pasta: In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the linguine and cook until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Drain and set aside, reserving a cup of pasta water.

2. Prepare the Chicken: While the pasta is cooking, cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces. Season them with salt and pepper to taste.

3. Melt the Butter: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter until it starts to foam.

4. Sauté the Garlic: Add the minced garlic to the melted butter and sauté for about 1 minute, or until fragrant. Be careful not to burn it.

5. Cook the Chicken: Add the chicken pieces to the skillet. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.

6. Combine with Pasta: Once the chicken is fully cooked, add the drained linguine to the skillet and toss to combine. If the pasta seems dry, add some reserved pasta water to achieve the desired consistency.

7. Finish with Parsley: Stir in the chopped parsley and mix well, allowing it to wilt slightly in the heat.

8. Serve Immediately: Plate your Cowboy Butter Chicken Linguine hot and garnish with extra parsley if desired.
