Preparation

  3. Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer, then reduce heat to low and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until it is fully melted and smooth.
  4. Add the cooked chicken to the sauce, ensuring it is well coated and heated through.
  5. Season the sauce with salt and black pepper according to your preference, tasting and adjusting as needed.

For an extra touch, you can add a pinch of nutmeg to the sauce while simmering for a more complex flavor profile. This sauce can also be used with shrimp or other proteins if chicken is not preferred.
