Ingredients

  • Gluten-free fettuccine - 200 grams
  • Chicken breast - 250 grams, diced
  • Butter - 2 tablespoons
  • Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
  • Heavy cream - 1 cup (240 ml)
  • Parmesan cheese - 1/2 cup (50 grams), grated
  • Salt - 1/2 teaspoon

Steps

  1. Cook the gluten-free fettuccine according to package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside.

  6. Add the cooked fettuccine to the skillet and toss to coat the pasta in the Alfredo sauce and chicken evenly.
  7. Serve immediately, garnished with chopped fresh parsley.
