🍳 Methods & Cooking Tips
Use fresh Parmesan: Pre-shredded cheese doesn’t melt as smoothly.
Don’t overcook chicken: Remove as soon as it reaches 165°F (75°C).
Low simmer for sauce: High heat can cause cream to separate.
Add vegetables: Broccoli, spinach, or mushrooms pair beautifully.
For extra richness: Add a splash of white cooking wine before cream.
