- Cook the chicken thoroughly before adding it to the sauce. This will help prevent the chicken from becoming dry and tough.
- Let the sauce simmer for at least 15 minutes. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.

- Garnish the dish with additional Parmesan cheese and parsley for a finishing touch.
