Notes

  • For perfectly cooked chicken, aim for an internal temperature of 75°C (165°F); it should be golden brown outside and juicy inside.
  • To prevent your Alfredo sauce from breaking, keep the heat on low and stir continuously after adding the cream to maintain a smooth consistency.
  • If you want to lighten up the dish, consider using half-and-half instead of heavy cream, or swap in Greek yogurt for a tangy twist without sacrificing creaminess.
  • To save time, cook the pasta in the same pot as the sauce for the last few minutes of cooking; this allows the pasta to absorb the sauce's flavor while reducing cleanup.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days, and reheat gently on the stove with a splash of milk to restore creaminess.
