Plating and Serving
Once everything is well-combined and heated through, serve the creamy chicken Alfredo immediately. Transfer the pasta onto plates, and for an extra touch, sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley for a pop of color and a fresh flavor contrast to the rich sauce. The dish can be garnished with additional grated Parmesan cheese, if desired, and a side of garlic bread or a simple green salad would complement the richness of the Alfredo sauce wonderfully.
Make-Ahead and Storage
This chicken Alfredo is best enjoyed fresh, but if you have leftovers, they can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the pasta in a pan over medium heat, adding a little milk or cream to loosen the sauce if it has thickened too much. Stir frequently to ensure the sauce is heated evenly. While the texture may not be quite the same as when fresh, it will still be delicious and creamy.
If you plan to make this dish ahead of time, you can prepare the chicken, sauce, and pasta separately and then combine them when ready to serve. This will ensure the sauce doesn’t absorb too much into the pasta, keeping it creamy. You can also freeze the sauce for up to a month and reheat it when needed. However, freezing the entire dish is not recommended, as the texture of the pasta may change.
