In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Stir in Dijon mustard, smoked paprika, cayenne, red pepper flakes, and lemon juice. Simmer for 2 minutes.
Stir in chopped herbs and return the chicken to the pan. Toss to coat.
Add the cooked linguine and toss everything together. Add a splash of reserved pasta water if needed to loosen the sauce.
