Notes

For added flavor, consider marinating the chicken overnight. This enhances its tenderness and juiciness.
Feel free to customize the sauce by adding sautéed vegetables like spinach, mushrooms, or bell peppers.
If you prefer a lighter version, swap heavy cream for half-and-half or almond milk.
Garnish the dish with extra Parmesan cheese and freshly cracked black pepper for a delicious finish.
