Chicken Garlic Parmesan Pasta (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Chicken

01 - 1 ½ lb chicken breast
02 - 1 ½ teaspoon paprika
03 - 1 ½ teaspoon oregano
04 - 1 teaspoon garlic powder
05 - ½ teaspoon thyme
06 - ½ teaspoon black pepper
07 - ½ teaspoon salt
08 - 2 tablespoon olive oil

→ Pasta and Sauce

09 - 12 oz gluten free farfalle pasta
10 - 4 tablespoon butter
11 - 2 teaspoon dry shallots
12 - 2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
13 - ½ cup chicken broth
14 - 2 tablespoon gluten free 1:1 flour
15 - 3 cups heavy cream
16 - 12 oz shredded parmesan
17 - ¼ cup pasta water
18 - ½ teaspoon salt
19 - 1 teaspoon garlic powder

# Instructions:

01 - In a large pot, boil pasta according to the directions on the box for al dente.
02 - Mix all chicken seasonings in a small bowl (paprika, oregano, garlic powder, thyme, salt, and pepper). Pound chicken to slightly thin, then season on both sides with the mixture.
03 - Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, sear the chicken for 5 minutes on each side. Lower heat to medium-low, cover with a lid, and cook for an additional 10-12 minutes until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
04 - Remove the chicken from the pan and place on a cutting board to rest.
05 - In the same pan, melt the butter. Add shallots, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Stir well and simmer for one minute.
06 - Add flour and stir well, scraping the bottom of the pan. Pour in chicken broth and heavy cream, whisking until smooth and creamy.
07 - Add Parmesan cheese and stir until completely melted. Cook, stirring occasionally, until desired consistency is reached.
08 - Add cooked pasta to the sauce and toss well to coat evenly. Add pasta water one tablespoon at a time to adjust sauce consistency if needed.
09 - Slice the chicken breast and add to the pasta. Carefully stir to combine, then serve.

# Notes:

01 - Reserve some pasta water before draining to help thin the sauce if it becomes too thick.
02 - For best results, let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing to retain its juices.
