Step 8

Serve: Once the cheese is melted and slightly golden, serve the chicken with some of the creamy sauce over pasta, rice, or vegetables. Tips: for a richer flavor, you could add a splash of white wine or a squeeze of lemon juice to the sauce. Adding sauteed mushrooms and or sun-dried tomatoes can enhance the Italian flavor.
