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
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
While the pasta is cooking, prepare the chicken by slicing each breast horizontally to create thin cutlets.
Step 3
Season the chicken cutlets with salt and black pepper.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
In the same skillet, add the butter and melt over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 6
Pour the heavy cream into the skillet and bring it to a gentle simmer, whisking constantly.
Step 7
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.
Step 8
Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss it gently to coat with the Alfredo sauce.
Step 9
Serve the pasta topped with the sliced chicken and garnish with chopped parsley.
Step 10
Enjoy your rich and creamy gluten-free chicken Alfredo!
