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.
