      👨‍🍳 How To Make

      Follow this easy recipe:

      Step 1

      Preheat the oven to 380°F (193°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

      Step 2

      Place the chicken thighs on the prepared baking sheet and season with black pepper.

      Step 3

      Bake for 15 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

      Step 4

      While the chicken bakes, let’s prepare the Alfredo sauce:

      • In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium-low heat.
      • Add the heavy cream, and bring to a gentle simmer.
      • Let it simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
      • Reduce the heat to low. Add the seasonings.
      • Gradually add the grated Parmesan cheese while whisking continuously until the sauce is smooth.

      Step 6

      Add the chicken pieces to the Alfredo sauce and the mixture over medium heat for 3-4 minutes. Enjoy!

      💡Tips

      1. Temperature Is Key

      Don’t rush heating the cream. Keep the heat on medium-low when making the sauce – if the cream gets too hot too fast, it can separate or become grainy.

      You’ll know the temperature is right when you see tiny bubbles around the edge of the pan, but the cream isn’t rapidly boiling.

      If you notice the cream starting to boil vigorously, immediately remove it from the heat and lower the temperature before continuing.

      2. Smooth Sauce

      Add the Parmesan cheese gradually, not all at once. Sprinkle it in while whisking constantly – this prevents clumping and helps create a silky smooth sauce.

      If you dump all the cheese in at once, it might clump together and never fully incorporate into the sauce. Keep whisking even after all the cheese is added until the sauce is completely smooth.

      FAQ

      Can I use chicken breast instead of thighs

      Yes, you can use chicken breasts, but the dish won’t be as juicy. Chicken breasts have less fat than thighs and can dry out more easily.

      If you decide to use them, reduce the cooking time by about 2-3 minutes, and watch them carefully so they don’t overcook.

      You might also want to add an extra tablespoon of butter to the sauce to make up for the lower fat content. 

      How finely should I grate the Parmesan?

      Use the small holes on your cheese grater – the ones you might use for zesting a lemon. Grating the cheese finely helps it melt more smoothly into the sauce.

      Parmesan

      If the cheese is grated too coarsely, it might not melt completely and could make your sauce lumpy.

      How do I know when the sauce is thick enough?

      The perfect sauce should coat the back of a spoon smoothly. The sauce will also thicken a bit more as it cools, so don’t worry if it seems slightly thin while hot.
