Season Generously: Don’t skimp on seasoning the chicken; it’s essential to get that rich garlic and herb flavor in every bite.
Mind the Cream Sauce: When adding Parmesan to the cream sauce, do so slowly and at a low simmer to prevent the cheese from clumping.
Avoid Overcooking the Pasta: Aim for al dente pasta, as it will continue to cook slightly when combined with the sauce.
Add Vegetables: For extra nutrition and color, consider adding spinach, mushrooms, or cherry tomatoes to the pasta. Simply sauté them in the skillet after the chicken is done cooking.
Storing Leftovers
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, add a splash of milk or cream to the pasta before warming it in a skillet over low heat to help the sauce stay creamy. Avoid microwaving if possible, as it can cause the cream sauce to separate.
Pairing Suggestions
Side Dishes: Serve with a light side salad or garlic bread to round out the meal without overpowering the flavors.
Wine Pairing: A crisp white wine, like Pinot Grigio or Sauvignon Blanc, pairs beautifully with this creamy pasta.
Non-Alcoholic Options: Lemon-infused water or a light sparkling beverage can complement the rich flavors without being too heavy.
