Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 oz Gluten-free fettuccine pasta
- 1 lb Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Ground black pepper
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 3 tbsp Unsalted butter
- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1.5 cups Heavy cream
- 1.5 cups Grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tbsp Chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
Cook the gluten-free fettuccine pasta according to the package instructions, then drain and set aside.
Season the chicken breasts with salt and ground black pepper on both sides.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until cooked through and golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest. Once slightly cooled, slice the chicken into strips.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the unsalted butter.
Once the butter has melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Gradually pour in the heavy cream, stirring constantly. Allow the mixture to simmer gently for about 2-3 minutes.
Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until the cheese has fully melted and the sauce is creamy and smooth.
Add the cooked and drained gluten-free fettuccine to the skillet, tossing to coat the pasta in the Alfredo sauce.
Add the sliced chicken back into the skillet, tossing again to ensure the chicken is evenly distributed and coated in the sauce.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
