Tips:
- Use a large skillet or Dutch oven: This will help to prevent the sauce from splattering and will also make it easier to stir the chicken and pasta.
- Cook the chicken thoroughly: To ensure that the chicken is cooked through, use a meat thermometer to check that it has reached an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- Don't overcook the pasta: Pasta should be cooked al dente, meaning that it is still slightly firm to the bite. If you overcook the pasta, it will become mushy.
- Use a good quality Alfredo sauce: A good Alfredo sauce will make all the difference in this dish. You can either make your own Alfredo sauce or use a store-bought variety.
- Add your favorite toppings: Once the dish is cooked, you can add your favorite toppings such as grated Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, or crumbled bacon.
