  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 1/2 lb Springer Mountain Farms 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

  1. In a large pot, boil pasta according to the package’s instructions until al dente.
  2. Mix all chicken seasonings in a small bowl: paprika, oregano, garlic powder, thyme, salt, and pepper.
  3. Pound the chicken slightly to thin it out, then season both sides with the spice mix.
  4. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  5. Once hot, sear the chicken for about 5 minutes on each side.
  6. After searing, lower the heat to medium-low, cover the pan, and cook for an additional 10-12 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Remove the chicken and set it aside on a cutting board.
  7. In the same pan, melt the butter.
  8. When the butter is melted, add the seasonings (shallots, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning) and simmer for one minute.
  9. Stir in the flour, scraping the bottom of the pan.
  10. Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream, whisking until you have a smooth sauce.
  11. Add the Parmesan cheese and stir until melted. Cook until your desired sauce thickness is reached.
  12. Toss in the cooked pasta, coating it well with the sauce. Add pasta water, one tablespoon at a time, to thin as needed.
  13. Slice the cooked chicken and add it to the pasta. Stir gently to combine and serve!

Notes

Serve with fresh parsley, additional Parmesan, or cracked pepper. Pairs well with a side salad or crusty bread. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for 3-4 days.
