Notes

For a lighter sauce, consider using half-and-half or whole milk instead of heavy cream. Feel free to swap chicken for shrimp or mushrooms to cater to different preferences. Store leftovers in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to three days. Reheat with a splash of cream or milk to revive the sauce's creaminess. Grating your own Parmesan cheese will yield a fresher taste and better consistency in the sauce.
