Notes
Pat the chicken dry before cooking for a better sear. Do not burn the garlic; cook it until fragrant for best taste. Add parmesan slowly and stir so the sauce stays smooth. Use low to medium heat when simmering the sauce to avoid breaking it. Taste the sauce and add salt and pepper at the end.
