Tips:

For a creamier Alfredo sauce, use heavy cream instead of milk.
If you don't have Alfredo sauce, you can make your own by melting butter in a saucepan, whisking in flour, and then slowly adding milk while whisking constantly. Bring to a simmer and cook until thickened.
Season the chicken with salt, pepper, and paprika before cooking to add flavor.
Cook the chicken until it is cooked through, but not overcooked. Overcooked chicken will be dry and tough.
Add the Alfredo sauce to the chicken and stir to coat. Serve over pasta, rice, or vegetables.
Garnish with fresh parsley or Parmesan cheese before serving.
