Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 oz Gluten-free fettuccine or pasta of choice
- 2 pieces Chicken breast
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Black pepper
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 4 tbsp Unsalted butter
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 cups Heavy cream
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tbsp Parsley, chopped (optional)
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 both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken breasts and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing into strips.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium-low and melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Pour the heavy cream into the skillet and stir well to combine. Allow the cream to gently simmer for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Gradually whisk in the grated Parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth and creamy. If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of pasta water to achieve the desired consistency.
Add the cooked gluten-free pasta to the skillet and toss to coat in the Alfredo sauce.
Top the pasta with the sliced chicken breasts and garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Gluten Free Chicken Alfredo!
