- You can line your sheet pan with parchment or non-stick aluminum foil to make clean-up easier.
- Don't rush your alfredo sauce. Keep the heat down low and give each ingredient time to simmer so the flavors intensify.
- If you can, buy a block of parmesan and grate it yourself for the best flavor and texture. Freshly grated parm melts better than pre-grated.
- For more intense flavor, make a mixture of Cajun seasoning and a few tablespoons of oil. Marinate the chicken breasts in the mixture for a few hours or overnight before cooking.
