Deliciously Simple: Whip Up a Gluten-Free Chicken Alfredo in Minutes!
hey everyone welcome back dinner is Chicken Alfredo come help me make it to those of you who are new welcome my name is Melissa this channel is dedicated to gluten-free Celiac safe cooking and baking tips and recipes leave a comment for anything I should try and follow along for more pasta dinners have always.
Been a go-to in my family well before the Celiac diagnosis so a huge priority for me was to figure out how to make gluten-free versions and get them back in the rotation but given that we homeschool and life is busy it needed to be simple and easy and this is definitely that this is also a good way to get more veggies in my kids which is.
Always a win now my kids love the taste of mushrooms but are iffy on the texture and so I try to chop them nice and small I don’t currently have spinach but whenever I do I chop that into small pieces too and add them into the pan a little after the mushrooms with the seasonings I add later the extra small pieces end up blending into the dish and.
Then my my kids won’t pick them out it’s not that I’m hiding it from my kids they know they’re there it’s that when the pieces are small enough my kids don’t care so first you sauté some mushrooms maybe spinach if you have it and a little bit of extra virgin olive oil you can go ahead and put your water on to boil for your noodles too if your stove.
Is like mine and can take a little while to heat up sometimes you want the mushrooms to release their water and then a good bit of that to evaporate before you add your garlic measure the minced garlic with your heart and saut that in for a bit till the aroma is nice and fragrant for the chicken any type of cooked chicken Works my husband and I.
Will buy two whole chickens and then bake them and then debone them all at once and then we will use the meat in casseres like the enchilada casserole and the chicken de van that are already posted to the channel or in tacos or things like this so this is leftover baked chicken fresh from the fridge my water is ready before I can add my.
Chicken so I’m going to go ahead and start my noodles my water is already salted and I found that penai pasta works really well with this recipe the HB gluten-free brand is good quality that doesn’t fall apart and is a good price but you use whatever noodles you want now because my family has a little mouths still I’m breaking up this.
Chicken into bite-sized pieces but you can go for bigger pieces if you want whatever works for you next I mix everything to incorporate it and add some Italian seasoning now if you have Sil disease don’t forget to double check that your seasonings and spices are gluten-free side note having to check if the nly gluten-free things are actually.
Glutened due to facility processing is frustrating and because I’m a busy mom I am going to use pre-made alfredo sauce the Classico brand is tasty and it’s gluten-free and I like to keep and reuse their jars I use them with my sourdough starter my enchilada sauce and honestly I have a whole set that I use as drinking glasses you never know when you.
Will need a good Amon jar next I just kind of mix everything together and I make sure that I keep it moving get the chicken all warmed up I stir my noodles in so I make sure they’re not sticking to the bottom and I just kind of mix and wait till the noodles are done when the noodles are done you want to wait a second before you strain.
Them so you’re going to pull them off the heat and you’re going to grab a ladle of the noodle water and put it into your sauce and then you can strain your noodles the way you normally would and then just dump all of those into your saucepan you stir really well and then I like to add some shredded parmesan.
Cheese on top now freshly grated would obviously be superior here but I have bagged so that’s what I’m using and that’s it you just mix everything around until your cheese is all melted and then it’s ready to serve now I like to have this with maybe some fruit on the side and maybe some veggies you could do a salad I could take some.
Of my sourdough bread and turn it into garlic toast and it would be delicious I once made this without the chicken cuz I didn’t have any and my pickiest child ate four helpings so this is definitely a win in my family so if you end up trying it let me know what you think and what you would add to it all right time to eat see you next time.
