Q&A for How to Cook Chicken Alfredo

It's important to cook the chicken separately. If you heated the sauce to boiling in order to cook the chicken, the cream would separate.

This depends on how thick your chicken is and how you cut or slice it. To ensure it's cooked, insert an instant-read meat thermometer into the thickest part of the chicken. It should reach 165 F (74 C) once it's cooked.

The sauce will separate only if you added oil to the Alfredo while it's cooking.

If you would like to bake the chicken before using it in the Alfredo, that's perfectly fine. After baking, remove the pieces needed and add it to the Alfredo following the instructions above.
