Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the linguine until al dente, approximately 9 minutes.
While the pasta cooks, season the chicken breast with sea salt and black pepper on both sides.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken for 6 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the chicken from the pan, let it rest for 3 minutes, then slice it into thin strips.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and melt the ghee, then add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant.
Drain the pasta, reserving a splash of pasta water, and add the linguine to the skillet along with the baby spinach and sliced chicken.
Toss everything together until the spinach is wilted, adding a touch of pasta water if needed for silkiness.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and a generous squeeze of lemon juice before serving.
