Gluten Free Chicken Parmesan with Dairy Free Alfredo
After personally testing, tasting, and trying different combinations of dairy free alternatives, I have finally nailed my recipe for Gluten Free Chicken Parmesan with Dairy Free Alfredo.
When you’re going Gluten Free and Dairy Free, there’s going to be a lot of trial and error. There are so many products out there it can sometimes be overwhelming. Some dishes like alfredo sauce may seem no longer attainable. It’s a creamy, decadent ode to all things dairy after all!
I’ve personally tried many varieties of the jarred versions and have never been happy. Because of that I set out to create the ultimate Dairy Free alfredo sauce that you can make at home. For this recipe, I’m using very specific dairy free brands. The combination will give you the luxurious taste and texture you crave.
The savory rich flavor comes from a combination of Dairy Free feta and Dairy Free parmesan cheeses. For the feta I use Violife Just Like Feta. For the parmesan I’m using Follow Your Heart Dairy-Free Parmesan.
Gluten Free Chicken Parmesan Over Dairy Free Fettuccini Alfredo
There are three components to this trifecta of Italian favorites. First is the crispy yet juicy chicken parmesan. Second a layer of sweet, chunky, hug your pasta marinara. And last, that glorious velvety alfredo sauce.
All three of these dishes can be prepared separately and served in a multitude of ways. Feel free to give the Dairy Free fettuccini alfredo a home next to your grilled chicken. The crunchy chicken parmesan is equally as good atop a fresh summer salad. And for a quick weeknight meal, the leftover marinara can be added to your favorite Gluten Free pasta.
An Italian Feast
Individually each portion of this dish shines. However when you combine all three you truly have the ultimate Italian feast.
This dish will be the center place of your table. The beautiful ivory fettuccini offering up a bed for the bright crimson pop of marinara, crowned with that succulent chicken.
