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
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
While the pasta cooks, season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
Pour in the heavy cream, stirring continuously, until heated through but not boiling. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste.
Step 6
Gradually add grated Parmesan cheese to the cream mixture, stirring constantly until the cheese is melted and the sauce becomes creamy.
Step 7
Slice the cooked chicken breasts into thin strips.
Step 8
Return the cooked pasta to the skillet with the Alfredo sauce. Toss to coat the pasta evenly with the sauce.
Step 9
Add the sliced chicken on top of the pasta and gently stir to combine all the ingredients.
Step 10
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy your gluten-free chicken Alfredo pasta!
