Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 oz Gluten-free pasta
- 1 lb Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 4 tbsp Unsalted butter
- 4 units Garlic cloves, minced
- 1.5 cups Heavy cream
- 1.5 cups Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the gluten-free pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
While the pasta cooks, season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and golden brown. Remove from the skillet and set aside to rest.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add unsalted butter. Once the butter is melted, add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Pour in the heavy cream, stirring continuously, until heated through but not boiling. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste.
Gradually add grated Parmesan cheese to the cream mixture, stirring constantly until the cheese is melted and the sauce becomes creamy.
Slice the cooked chicken breasts into thin strips.
Return the cooked pasta to the skillet with the Alfredo sauce. Toss to coat the pasta evenly with the sauce.
Add the sliced chicken on top of the pasta and gently stir to combine all the ingredients.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy your gluten-free chicken Alfredo pasta!
