Step-by-Step Instructions for 20-Minute Chicken Alfredo
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add gluten-free fettuccine and cook according to package directions, about 8-10 minutes. Reserve 1/3 cup of pasta water before draining and set aside.
- Blend the ingredients for the dairy-free alfredo sauce in a blender for 2-3 minutes until creamy. Taste and adjust flavors if necessary.
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil or plant-based butter over medium-high heat. Add chicken, season with sea salt, and cook for 7-10 minutes until browned and cooked through. Transfer chicken to a plate to rest.
- In the same skillet, add leeks and broccoli. Sauté for about 3 minutes until vibrant and crisp. Deglaze the skillet with a splash of white wine or chicken stock and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
- Reduce heat to low, return chicken to skillet, add drained pasta, and pour in the alfredo sauce. Stir gently and add reserved pasta water to reach desired consistency.
- Garnish with freshly chopped parsley or chives and serve immediately.

Notes
Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze the alfredo sauce separately from the pasta.
