Gluten Free One-Pot Chicken Alfredo

Prep time10 min

Cook time25 min

Golden-seared chicken breast simmers right in with garlic, chicken broth, whole milk, and heavy cream until everything reduces into a rich, velvety sauce studded with a hint of nutmeg. The pasta cooks directly in that same skillet, soaking up every bit of flavor as it turns tender and thickens the sauce into something silky and clingy. Freshly grated Parmesan melts in at the end for that classic, cheesy finish, and a scatter of fresh parsley brightens the whole dish before serving. It's a true one-pot meal — minimal cleanup, maximum comfort, all built in a single skillet from start to finish. This creamy, savory dinner is a great pick for a gluten free table, no extra pots or fuss required.

1 tsp kosher salt, plus more to taste
½ tsp black pepper, plus more to taste
2 tbsp unsalted butter
1 tbsp olive oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
2 cups whole milk
1 cup heavy cream
8 oz fettuccine, broken in half
1 ½ cups freshly grated parmesan cheese (about 3 oz), plus more for serving
¼ tsp ground nutmeg
2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Instructions

1
Pat the chicken slices dry and season all over with 1 tsp kosher salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
2
Melt the butter with the olive oil in a large 12-inch straight-sided skillet or wide pot over medium-high heat until the butter is foamy and just beginning to subside. Add the chicken in a single layer and sear undisturbed for 3 minutes, then flip and cook for another 2–3 minutes, until the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) on an instant-read thermometer and is opaque throughout with no pink at the center. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
