- 2 tsp dry shallots (use code 15GOLDENGK for 15% off)
- 2 tsp Italian seasoning

- 2 tbsp gluten-free 1:1 flour
- 3 cups heavy cream
- 12 oz shredded parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup pasta water
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp garlic powder
Instructions
Preparation
- In a large pot, boil the pasta according to the directions on the box for al dente.
- Place all the chicken seasonings (paprika, oregano, garlic powder, thyme, salt, and pepper) into a small bowl and mix together.
- Pound the chicken to thin it out slightly, then season it on both sides with the mixed seasoning.
Cooking
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
- Once hot, sear the chicken for about 5 minutes on each side.
- After searing, lower the heat to medium-low, cover the pan, and cook for an additional 10-12 minutes, until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees.
- Remove the chicken from the pan and set it on a cutting board.
- Add butter to the pan and let it melt.
- Once melted, add the pasta seasonings (dry shallots, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning). Stir well and let simmer for one minute.
- Next, add the gluten-free flour and stir well, scraping the bottom of the pan.
- Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream, whisking until smooth and creamy.
- Add the parmesan cheese, stirring until it completely melts. Cook until the sauce reaches your desired consistency.
- Add the cooked pasta to the sauce and toss to coat evenly.
- If the sauce is too thick, gradually add the pasta water one tablespoon at a time.
- Finally, slice the chicken breast and place it on top of the pasta. Carefully stir and serve hot!
Notes
Serve warm in bowls with extra parmesan cheese on top. Pair with a fresh green salad or steamed vegetables. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. Reheat on the stovetop or in the microwave, adding cream or broth if needed.
