Gluten-Free Chicken Alfredo

This Gluten-Free Chicken Alfredo features tender chicken pieces and gluten-free pasta enveloped in a rich, creamy Alfredo sauce. Perfect for a comforting meal, it delivers a delightful taste experience without the gluten.

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
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon

Steps

1. Cook the gluten-free fettuccine according to package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
2. In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter and add the diced chicken. Cook until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
3. Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
4. Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and the sauce thickens slightly.
