This recipe is a keeper! It is clearly written and there wasn’t really any fuss when it came time to make it. It was delicious! It tastes like something out of a restaurant. The only thing I did differently was I flattened the chicken breast a bit. It smelled beautiful, my only regret was not having some garlic bread to pair it but we did have a romaine salad with fresh oregano and basil from my backyard. This is now going into our rotation of dinners. I’m usually terrified of chicken because it’s so easy to overlook but this came out perfect and I followed the instructions closely. The result is a tender flavorful chicken. I ended up going back for a little more since it was just so good! If you’re debating an IP Alfredo recipe, look no further. This is it!
