- 2 tsp dry shallots (use code 15GOLDENGK for 15% off)
- 2 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 2 tbsp Gluten Free 1:1 Flour
- 3 cups heavy cream
- 12 oz shredded parmesan
- 1/4 cup pasta water
- 1/2 salt
- 1 tsp garlic powder
Instructions
Preparation
- In a large pot, boil pasta according to the directions on the box for al dente.
- Place all chicken seasonings into a small bowl and mix paprika, oregano, garlic powder, thyme, salt, and pepper.
- Pound the chicken down to thin it out slightly and then season both sides with the seasoning mixture.
Cooking
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, sear the chicken for 5 minutes on each side.
- After both sides are seared, lower the heat slightly to medium-low, place a lid on the pan, and cook for an additional 10-12 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Remove the chicken from the pan and set it on a cutting board.
- Add butter to the pan and allow it to melt. Once melted, incorporate the pasta seasonings: shallots, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Stir well and let it simmer for one minute.
- Next, add in the flour and stir well, scraping the bottom of the pan.
- Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream, whisking until a smooth and creamy sauce forms.
- Add the Parmesan cheese and stir until completely melted, adjusting the consistency as desired while stirring occasionally.
- Toss the cooked pasta in the sauce, adding pasta water one tablespoon at a time until the sauce reaches your preferred consistency.
- Slice the cooked chicken breast and add it to the pasta. Carefully stir to combine and serve!
Notes
For added flavor, consider marinating the chicken in the seasoning mix for a few hours before cooking. If you prefer a spicy kick, add red pepper flakes to the seasoning mix. Feel free to substitute the gluten-free pasta with regular pasta if gluten is not a concern. For a lighter version, you can use half-and-half instead of heavy cream.
