Ingredients

• 12 oz Gluten-free spaghetti
• 1 lb Chicken breast
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 2 Eggs
• 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 3 Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 cup Frozen peas
• 0.5 cup Heavy cream
• 0.25 cup Fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the gluten-free spaghetti according to the package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside.

Step 2

Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces. Season with salt and black pepper.

Step 3

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook until fully cooked and golden brown, about 6-8 minutes. Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Step 5

Add the frozen peas to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes until heated through. Return the chicken to the skillet and stir to combine.

Step 6

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, grated Parmesan cheese, and heavy cream until smooth.

Step 7

Reduce the heat to low, then add the cooked spaghetti to the skillet with the chicken and peas.

Step 8

Quickly pour the egg and cheese mixture over the pasta and chicken, tossing rapidly to thoroughly combine and prevent the eggs from scrambling. The heat from the pasta and skillet should cook the eggs to a creamy consistency.

Step 9

Season to taste with additional salt and pepper if needed.

Step 10

Serve immediately, garnished with freshly chopped parsley.
