Recipe Notes
- Use freshly shredded parmesan for the smoothest sauce. Pre-shredded cheese can make the sauce slightly grainy because of anti-caking agents.
- Adjust the spice level by adding more or less red pepper flakes, or leave them out entirely for a mild dish.
- If the sauce gets too thick, stir in a splash of chicken broth, milk, or cream until it reaches your desired consistency.
- Cut the chicken into evenly sized pieces so it cooks quickly and evenly.
- Leftovers reheat well, but the sauce may thicken in the fridge. Add a little broth or milk when reheating to loosen it up.
