Spicy Chipotle Chicken Linguine

Ingredients

Salt

to taste

Black pepper

to taste

Parmesan cheese

1/2 cup, grated

Heavy cream

1 cup

Garlic

3 cloves, minced

Linguine

8 ounces

Olive oil

2 tablespoons

Chipotle seasoning

2 tablespoons

Chicken breasts

2, boneless and skinless

Instructions

1. Begin by seasoning the chicken breasts generously with chipotle seasoning, ensuring they are well coated for maximum flavor.
2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the seasoned chicken breasts and cook for approximately 6-7 minutes on each side or until the chicken is no longer pink in the center. Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest on a cutting board.
3. While the chicken is resting, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the linguine and cook according to package instructions, usually about 8-10 minutes, until al dente. Drain and set aside.
4. In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, or until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
5. Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally. Gradually add the grated Parmesan cheese, stirring continuously until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth.
6. Slice the cooked chicken into strips and add it back into the skillet, stirring to coat the chicken in the creamy sauce.
7. Add the drained linguine to the skillet, tossing gently to combine the pasta, chicken, and sauce thoroughly. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
8. Serve your spicy chipotle chicken linguine hot, garnished with additional Parmesan cheese if desired.
