Today I want to share my daughter Josha’s gluten free chicken pasta.
This recipe is very special to me because she created this for me when I was still overwhelmed and learning to cook with all my food issues.
If you are looking for a light and quick meal to throw together, this gluten free chicken pasta is perfect. I use my Tamari chicken in several recipes, so I usually roast a large enough chicken to make two recipes and freeze half of it. That way I have shredded chicken available for those days when I don’t have much time to cook. You can also use store bought roasted chicken. Just realize it will slightly change the flavor of this gluten free chicken pasta.
Enjoy!
