Step-by-Step Instructions
- Cook the gluten-free farfalle pasta in salted boiling water according to package instructions until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Reserve a small cup of pasta water, then drain and set aside.
- Season diced chicken breast with sweet smoked paprika, oregano, garlic powder, thyme, salt, and black pepper.
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat and sear the chicken for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from skillet and set aside.
- Melt dairy-free butter in the same skillet over medium heat, then add minced onion and Italian seasoning. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the onion is translucent.
- Stir in gluten-free flour, then gradually whisk in chicken broth and dairy-free heavy cream, simmering for 2-3 minutes until thickened. Add fresh spinach to wilt.
- Incorporate dairy-free parmesan cheese into the sauce until melted. Use reserved pasta water if too thick.
- Toss the drained pasta into the Alfredo sauce and fold in the seared chicken. Heat through for 1 minute.
- Garnish with fresh parsley or basil and crushed red pepper flakes before serving.
