A creamy, comforting Dairy-Free Chicken Alfredo that captures all the flavors of the Italian classic while catering to those who avoid dairy.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/4 lbs Chicken breast (diced small)
  • 1 3/4 tsp sweet smoked paprika
  • 1 1/2 tsp oregano
  • 1 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp thyme
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 12 oz gluten-free farfalle
  • 4 tbsp dairy-free butter
  • 2 tbsp minced onion
  • 2 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 cup chicken broth
  • 1 2/3 tbsp gluten-free 1:1 flour
  • 2 cups dairy-free heavy cream
  • 2 cups chopped spinach
  • 8 oz dairy-free Parmesan (shredded)
  • 2 tbsp pasta water (as needed)

Instructions

  1. Boil the pasta: In a large pot, bring water to a boil and cook the gluten-free farfalle according to the package directions for al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving a bit of the pasta water.
  2. Season the chicken: In a small bowl, combine chicken and seasonings (paprika, oregano, garlic powder, thyme, black pepper, and salt) and toss to coat thoroughly.
  3. Cook the chicken: Heat olive oil over medium heat in a large skillet. Sear the chicken for 3 to 4 minutes on each side until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Transfer to a plate.
  4. Prepare the sauce: In the same skillet, melt dairy-free butter. Add minced onion and all sauce seasonings (Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and salt) and simmer for about a minute.
  5. Add thickening ingredients: Stir in the gluten-free flour, then add chicken broth and dairy-free heavy cream. Whisk in chopped spinach and simmer for 3 to 4 minutes, until rich and creamy.
  6. Finish the dish: Stir in dairy-free Parmesan until melted. Mix in the cooked pasta and add reserved pasta water to achieve your desired sauce thickness. Incorporate the chicken and serve immediately.
