1. Prepare the Crust:
Cook linguine according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Season chicken with salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, and cayenne pepper.
In a large skillet, melt 1 tbsp butter over medium heat. Add chicken and cook until golden and cooked through, about 5-6 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
In the same skillet, melt remaining butter. Add garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Stir in heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, and oregano. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.
Add cooked linguine and chicken to the skillet. Toss to coat evenly in the sauce.
