Notes
- The longer you marinate the chicken, the better it will taste. I usually leave it in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours for good marination.
- The white alfredo sauce gets thicker once cooked; it is essential to serve it immediately to preserve its texture as well as taste.
- While reheating alfredo, add 2 tbsp of milk or water to regain the saucy texture of the recipe.
