Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 ounces gluten-free fettuccine
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1.25 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped
Instructions
Cook the gluten-free fettuccine according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving 1/2 cup of the pasta cooking water.
While the pasta is cooking, prepare the chicken by slicing each breast horizontally to create thin cutlets.
Season the chicken cutlets with salt and black pepper.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken cutlets and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked through and golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into strips.
In the same skillet, add the butter and melt over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour the heavy cream into the skillet and bring it to a gentle simmer, whisking constantly.
Gradually whisk in the grated Parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth and creamy. If the sauce is too thick, you can add a bit of the reserved pasta water to reach the desired consistency.
Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss it gently to coat with the Alfredo sauce.
Serve the pasta topped with the sliced chicken and garnish with chopped parsley.
Enjoy your rich and creamy gluten-free chicken Alfredo!
