It was one of those nights where I wanted something special but didn’t have the energy for a complicated recipe. I had chicken in the fridge, a box of linguine in the pantry, and lemons on the counter that were begging to be used. So I trusted my instincts—and a love for garlic butter—and created a dish that felt way too good for a Wednesday.
The result? Juicy, golden chicken bathed in lemony garlic butter, served over twirls of creamy Parmesan linguine. Bright, comforting, and just indulgent enough. The kind of meal that makes you slow down and savor every bite, even if you’re eating it at the kitchen counter in your sweats.
