Critical Success Points

  • Season the chicken evenly before cooking.
  • Cook chicken until it reaches 165°F internal temperature.
  • Simmer pasta with enough liquid until al dente without burning the sauce.
  • Melt the cheese off the heat to avoid a grainy texture.

Safety Warnings

  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).
  • Handle hot pan and oil with care to avoid burns.
  • Do not leave the simmering sauce unattended; it can scorch.
