Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 1/2 lb chicken breast
- 1 1/2 tsp paprika
- 1 1/2 tsp oregano
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp thyme
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 12 oz gluten-free farfalle pasta
- 4 tbsp butter
- 2 tsp dry shallots
- 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 tsp salt
- 1 tsp garlic powder
Instructions
- Step: Boil water in a large pot and cook the pasta according to package directions until al dente.
- Step: In a small bowl, combine paprika, oregano, garlic powder, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
- Step: Pound the chicken breasts slightly to thin them out. Then season both sides with the chicken seasoning mixture.
- Step: In a large skillet over medium heat, heat olive oil. Once hot, add seasoned chicken breasts. Sear each side for about 5 minutes until golden brown.
- Step: Reduce heat to medium-low after flipping the chicken. Cover with a lid and cook for an additional 10-12 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Remove from skillet and set aside.
- Step: Melt butter in the same skillet used for the chicken. Add dry shallots, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Stir well and simmer for one minute.
- Step: Add gluten-free flour to the butter mixture, stirring well to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
- Step: Pour in chicken broth and heavy cream while whisking until smooth. Allow it to cook briefly until combined.
- Step: Gradually stir in shredded parmesan cheese until melted completely into the sauce.
- Step: Add cooked farfalle pasta into the sauce mixture, tossing well to coat evenly.
- Step: If needed, add reserved pasta water one tablespoon at a time until reaching your desired sauce consistency.
- Step: Slice seared chicken breast and place on top of the pasta. Gently stir everything together before serving warm!
Notes
Reserve some pasta water before draining; it helps adjust the sauce’s consistency without losing flavor. For best results, use freshly shredded Parmesan cheese.
