Ingredients

• 12 ounces Gluten-free penne pasta
• 1 pound Boneless, skinless chicken breast
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 3 Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 cup Gluten-free chicken broth
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 0.75 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

While pasta is cooking, cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces.

Step 3

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat the olive oil. Add the chicken pieces and season with salt and black pepper. Cook until the chicken is browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Pour in the gluten-free chicken broth and heavy cream, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to low and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy.

Step 7

Add the cooked chicken back to the skillet, stirring to coat in the creamy sauce.

Step 8

Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss everything together until well combined and the pasta is coated with the sauce.

Step 9

Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy your gluten-free creamy chicken pasta!
