Baking Tips
For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in olive oil, garlic, and Italian seasoning before cooking.
Use freshly grated parmesan cheese for a richer and smoother sauce.
For a lighter version, replace heavy cream with half-and-half or coconut milk.
Pair with pasta, mashed potatoes, or roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
If the sauce becomes too thick, add a splash of chicken broth to thin it out.
