Tips

  • Season chicken breast like your life depended on it; if the color didn't change, you didn't do it right.
  • Do not clean the pan after cooking the chicken, that's flavor.
  • Use freshly grated Parmesan cheese, not pre-shredded stuff.
  • Use pasta water to achieve the desired consistency for the sauce.
