Instructions
Preparation
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the gluten-free farfalle pasta according to package instructions until al dente.
- In a small bowl, combine the paprika, oregano, garlic powder, thyme, salt, and black pepper to make a seasoning mix.
- Flatten the chicken breasts with a meat mallet and season both sides with the spice mix.
Cooking Chicken
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat and sauté the seasoned chicken for about 5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.
- Lower the heat to medium-low, cover, and cook for an additional 10-12 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
- Transfer chicken to a cutting board, cover it, and let it rest.
Making the Sauce
- In the same skillet, reduce the heat further and add butter until melted.
- Add dry shallots, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning into the melted butter, stirring for about a minute.
- Sprinkle in the gluten-free flour and whisk to incorporate, scraping stuck bits from the pan.
- Add chicken broth and heavy cream, whisking continuously until a smooth sauce forms.
- Gradually stir in the shredded Parmesan cheese until melted and the sauce thickens.
Combining Pasta and Chicken
- Once the pasta has finished cooking, drain it and reserve 1/4 cup of pasta water.
- Add the drained pasta to the skillet with the sauce, tossing to coat evenly.
- If the sauce is too thick, add reserved pasta water one tablespoon at a time until desired consistency.
- Slice the cooked chicken and gently stir it into the pasta.
Serving
- Plate the pasta and top with sliced chicken. Garnish with parsley or basil, if desired.
- Serve with a side salad or garlic bread for a complete meal.
Notes
Use fresh ingredients for best flavor. Adjust seasonings to taste, and reserve pasta water to help achieve the perfect sauce consistency.
