1. Start by preparing your chicken. Season it generously with salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs such as rosemary, thyme, or oregano.
2. Dredge the chicken in flour, giving it a light coating across all sides. This will help create a golden crust when cooked.
3. Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat and add a drizzle of oil. Once hot, sear the chicken until golden brown on both sides, ensuring it's cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside to rest.
4. While the chicken is resting, cook your pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
5. In the same skillet, add the juice of one lemon, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Let the lemon juice cook for a minute to reduce slightly.
6. Add your assortment of herbs to the skillet, such as chopped parsley, basil, or cilantro. This will infuse the lemony sauce with aromatic flavors.
7. Slice the rested chicken into thin strips and return it to the skillet, coating it with the lemon herb sauce. Allow it to heat through for a minute or two, ensuring the chicken is well-coated.
8. Finally, add the cooked pasta to the skillet, tossing it with the lemon herb chicken until everything is well combined.

Serve your Cowboy Lemon Herb Chicken Pasta hot, and garnish with additional herbs and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice for an extra kick. This dish pairs perfectly with a side of garlic bread and a cold glass of lemonade to wash it all down. Saddle up and enjoy! Yeehaw!
