Ingredients

Instructions
Creating Dairy Free Chicken Alfredo can be a delightful experience if you follow these simple steps:
1. Cook the Pasta: In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the fettuccine and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. Prepare the Chicken: While the pasta cooks, season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
3. Cook the Chicken: In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Once hot, add the chicken breasts and cook for about 6-7 minutes per side or until fully cooked. Remove from the skillet and let rest.
4. Make the Sauce: In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant. In a bowl, whisk together almond milk, nutritional yeast, and cornstarch until smooth. Pour this mixture into the skillet.
5. Thicken the Sauce: Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, for about 3-5 minutes until the sauce thickens. Add salt and pepper to taste.
6. Combine: Slice the cooked chicken into strips and add it along with the drained fettuccine to the skillet. Toss everything together until the pasta and chicken are well coated with the sauce.
7. Serve: Remove from heat and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
