Description

This recipe provides instructions for making creamy chicken alfredo without dairy or gluten.


Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 (14.5 oz) can diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup dairy-free heavy cream alternative
  • 1/2 cup dairy-free Parmesan cheese alternative, grated
  • 1/2 lb gluten-free fettuccine pasta
  • Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish


Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken pieces, season with salt and pepper, and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
  2. Add onion to the skillet and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
  3. Stir in diced tomatoes and chicken broth. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes.
  4. Reduce heat to low, stir in dairy-free heavy cream alternative and dairy-free Parmesan cheese alternative. Cook until cheese is melted and sauce is heated through, about 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  5. Meanwhile, cook gluten-free fettuccine according to package directions. Drain well.
  6. Add cooked chicken and drained fettuccine to the sauce. Toss to coat.
  7. Serve immediately, garnished with fresh parsley.

Notes

  • Adjust the amount of dairy-free Parmesan cheese alternative to your taste.
  • For a spicier Alfredo, add a pinch of red pepper flakes with the garlic.
