Instructions

Creating Cowboy Butter Chicken Pasta is simple when you follow these easy steps:

1. Cook the Pasta: In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. Prepare the Chicken: While the pasta cooks, season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
3. Sear the Chicken: In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until cooked through. Remove from the skillet and let rest. Once cooled, slice the chicken into strips.
4. Sauté Aromatics: In the same skillet, add the remaining butter. Add the chopped onion, garlic, and grated ginger. Sauté for about 3 minutes until the onion is translucent.
5. Add Spices: Stir in the garam masala and paprika, cooking for another minute until fragrant.
6. Make the Sauce: Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth, stirring well to combine. Bring to a simmer and let it cook for 5 minutes until slightly thickened.
7. Combine Pasta and Chicken: Add the cooked pasta and sliced chicken to the skillet. Toss everything together, ensuring the pasta is well coated with the sauce.
8. Adjust Seasoning: Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
9. Garnish: Remove from heat and garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.
