Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Organic chicken, fresh vegetables, and flavorful cheese will make a big difference in the final dish.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the chicken. This will prevent the chicken from cooking evenly and will make it more likely to stick to the pan.
  • Cook the chicken until it is cooked through, but not overcooked. Overcooked chicken will be dry and tough.
  • Use a good quality white wine for the sauce. A dry Chardonnay or Pinot Grigio will work well.
  • Add the cream and Parmesan cheese to the sauce slowly, stirring constantly. This will help to prevent the sauce from curdling.
  • Serve the pasta immediately, topped with additional Parmesan cheese and fresh basil.
