Common Mistakes to Avoid
Overcooking the Chicken: Searing too long can make it dry. Keep the heat medium-high and rest the meat.
Curdled Sauce: Don’t boil the cream—simmer gently and stir constantly.
Undersalting the Pasta Water: Pasta water should be salty like the sea for best flavor.
Skipping the Rest Time: Letting chicken rest before slicing keeps it juicy.
Not Grating Cheese Fresh: Pre-shredded cheese won’t melt as smoothly.
Storing Tips
Leftovers: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Freezing: Freeze in individual portions for up to 1 month. Reheat gently with a splash of milk.
Meal Prep: Make sauce and chicken ahead. Boil pasta fresh for best texture.
