Description
A delicious and creamy pasta dish that’s dairy-free, perfect for everyone.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ¼ lbs Chicken breast, diced small
- 1 ¾ teaspoon sweet smoked paprika
- 1 ½ teaspoon oregano
- 1 ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon thyme
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 12 oz gluten-free farfalle
- 4 tablespoon dairy free butter
- 2 tablespoon minced onion
- 2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 ⅔ tablespoon gluten free 1:1 flour
- 2 cups dairy free heavy cream
- 2 cups chopped spinach
- 8 oz dairy free parmesan, shredded
- 2 tablespoon pasta water, as needed
Instructions
- Boil the gluten-free farfalle in a large pot of salted water according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving a bit of the pasta water.
- Combine the diced chicken breast with sweet smoked paprika, oregano, garlic powder, thyme, black pepper, and salt in a small bowl. Toss thoroughly to coat evenly.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the seasoned chicken and sear for 3 to 4 minutes on each side until cooked through and internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
- Melt the dairy-free butter in the same skillet over medium heat. Add minced onion, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and salt. Sauté and simmer for about one minute to release the flavors.
- Sprinkle gluten free 1:1 flour into the skillet and stir well, scraping the bottom to incorporate and avoid lumps.
- Slowly whisk in chicken broth and dairy-free heavy cream. Stir in chopped spinach. Continue whisking and simmer the sauce for 3 to 4 minutes until it thickens and becomes creamy.
- Add shredded dairy-free parmesan to the sauce, stirring constantly until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce achieves your preferred thickness.
- Combine the cooked pasta with the sauce in the skillet and toss to coat evenly. If the sauce is thick, add a tablespoon or two of reserved pasta water to thin it.
- Return the seared chicken to the skillet and gently stir to combine all ingredients evenly. Serve immediately and enjoy!
