FAQ

Can I make this without an air fryer?

Yes — pan-fry the marinated chicken over medium-high heat or bake it at 200°C for about 18–20 minutes until cooked through. The lemon marinade keeps it juicy either way.

How do I keep the lighter Alfredo sauce from splitting?

Warm the milk and cream cheese gently over low heat and stir in the Parmesan off the direct heat so it melts smoothly. Boiling it hard can cause the cheese to separate and turn grainy.

How long does this keep for meal prep?

Stored in airtight containers, it keeps for 3 days in the fridge, which makes it ideal for prepping ahead. Reheat gently and add a splash of milk to bring the sauce back to a creamy consistency.
