Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Cook the Chicken Base
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped shallots and cook for 2–3 minutes until softened. Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Stir in the chicken, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cook just until warmed through and well coated. Remove from heat and set aside.
Step 2: Make the Homemade Alfredo Sauce
In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1–2 minutes, stirring constantly (this removes the raw flour taste).
Slowly whisk in warm milk, followed by the heavy cream. Continu
