Cook the Linguine:

Boil linguine according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.

Sear the Chicken:

Season chicken with salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and red pepper flakes (if using).

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear chicken until golden and cooked through, about 6–7 minutes. Remove and set aside.

In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté 1 minute until fragrant.

Stir in Dijon mustard and Italian seasoning. Cook for 1 more minute.

Make It Creamy:

Pour in chicken broth and heavy cream. Simmer for 3–4 minutes until slightly thickened.

Stir in Parmesan cheese until smooth and creamy.

Bring It All Together:

Add cooked linguine and chicken back into the skillet. Toss everything until coated in the creamy herb butter sauce.
