Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 ounces Gluten-free penne pasta
- 1 pound Boneless, skinless chicken breast
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup Gluten-free chicken broth
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 0.75 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook gluten-free penne pasta according to package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
While pasta is cooking, cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces.
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat the olive oil. Add the chicken pieces and season with salt and black pepper. Cook until the chicken is browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Pour in the gluten-free chicken broth and heavy cream, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy.
Add the cooked chicken back to the skillet, stirring to coat in the creamy sauce.
Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss everything together until well combined and the pasta is coated with the sauce.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy your gluten-free creamy chicken pasta!
