Ingredients
Scale
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 ½ lb Springer Mountain Farms chicken breast
1 ½ teaspoons paprika
1 ½ teaspoons oregano
1 teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon thyme
½ teaspoon black pepper
½ teaspoon salt
12 oz gluten-free farfalle pasta
4 tablespoons butter
2 teaspoons dry shallots
2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
½ cup chicken broth
2 tablespoons gluten-free 1:1 flour
3 cups heavy cream
12 oz shredded Parmesan cheese
¼ cup pasta water
½ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
Cook the Pasta: In a large pot, boil pasta according to the directions on the box for al dente.
Season the Chicken: Place all chicken seasonings into a small bowl and mix. Pound chicken down to thin out slightly. Then season the chicken on both sides with the seasoning mixture.
Sear the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil on medium heat. Once hot, sear the chicken for 5 minutes on each side.
Cook the Chicken: Once both sides are seared, flip the chicken and lower the heat slightly to medium-low. Place a lid on the pan and cook for an additional 10-12 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F.
Make the Sauce: Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside. Add the butter to the pan and allow it to melt. Once the butter is melted, add the dry shallots, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Stir well and simmer for one minute. Next, add the flour and stir well, scraping the bottom of the pan. Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream. Whisk well until a smooth and creamy sauce has been formed.
Add Cheese and Pasta: Pour in the Parmesan cheese and stir together until completely melted. Allow it to cook, stirring occasionally, until the desired consistency is met. Pour in the pasta and toss well to coat evenly. Add pasta water one tablespoon at a time to thin out the sauce as needed.
Slice and Serve: Once the pasta is coated in sauce, slice the chicken breast and add it to the pasta. Carefully stir, then serve!
