Steps:
- Slice each chicken breast horizontally into 3 thinner pieces using a sharp knife. Sprinkle each chicken piece with garlic salt and Italian seasoning on both sides.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients to ensure the best flavor. Fresh chicken, creamy Alfredo sauce, and flavorful Parmesan cheese make all the difference.
- Cook the chicken thoroughly to ensure it is safe to eat. Use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature has reached 165°F (74°C) before serving.
- Don't overcook the chicken or it will become dry and tough. Cook it just until it is cooked through.
- Make sure the Alfredo sauce is smooth and creamy. If it is too thick, add a little milk or cream. If it is too thin, simmer it for a few minutes to thicken it up.
- Use freshly grated Parmesan cheese for the best flavor. Pre-grated Parmesan cheese can be grainy and lack flavor.
- Serve the chicken Alfredo immediately after it is cooked. The pasta will start to absorb the sauce and become soggy if it sits for too long.
- Garnish the chicken Alfredo with fresh parsley or chives for a pop of color and flavor.
