Parmesan cheese
Adds depth and a savory flavor to the sauce. Fresh grated parmesan works best.

Tips

• If your chicken breasts are very thick, you can slice them in half lengthwise so they cook more evenly.
• Stir the sauce gently before serving to combine the melted parmesan and cream.
• If the sauce thickens too much, add a splash of chicken broth or milk.

Serving Suggestions

This creamy chicken pairs well with simple sides like:

• Buttered egg noodles
• Steamed white rice
• Mashed potatoes
• Garlic bread
• Roasted broccoli or green beans

Storage

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Reheat gently in the microwave or on the stovetop. If the sauce thickens while stored, stir in a splash of milk or broth while reheating.
