Preparation

Combining
- Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet, ensuring they are well-coated in the rich, creamy sauce, and let everything simmer together for an additional 3-4 minutes.
- Finish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley before serving hot.
Notes
For deeper flavor, marinate the chicken breasts in olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, and seasoning for at least 30 minutes before cooking. Consider adding sun-dried tomatoes or sautéed spinach for more vibrant flavor. Adjust sauce seasoning to taste before serving.
