• 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
• 1 tsp salt
• 0.5 tsp ground black pepper
• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1.5 cups grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 tbsp parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add gluten-free fettuccine and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Step 2

While the pasta is cooking, season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper.

Step 3

In a large skillet over medium heat, add 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil.

Step 4

Once the oil is heated, add the chicken breasts and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked. Remove from skillet and let them rest for a few minutes before slicing them into strips.

Step 5

In the same skillet, melt 1 cup of unsalted butter over medium heat.

Step 6

Add minced garlic to the melted butter and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 7

Pour in 1 cup of heavy cream, stirring continuously. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes.

Step 8

Gradually whisk in 1.5 cups of grated Parmesan cheese until the sauce becomes smooth and creamy.

Step 9

Add the cooked fettuccine to the skillet and toss to coat the pasta evenly with the Alfredo sauce.

Step 10

Mix in the chicken strips with the pasta and sauce, ensuring they are well incorporated.

Step 11

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.

Step 12

Serve hot and enjoy your gluten-free Olive Garden Chicken Alfredo!
