Use coconut milk or almond milk in place of heavy whipping cream, and opt for a dairy-free Parmesan alternative.
Herb Variations:
Fresh Herbs: Use fresh basil, oregano, or parsley for a burst of fresh flavor.
Spicy Kick: Increase the amount of red pepper flakes or add a dash of hot sauce for a spicier dish.
Cooking Tips
Chicken Thickness: Ensure your chicken cutlets are of even thickness to cook uniformly. You can pound them to achieve this.
Wine Substitute: If you prefer not to use wine, substitute with chicken broth or vegetable broth.
Cream Consistency: Adjust the amount of heavy whipping cream to control the sauce’s thickness. More cream will yield a richer, creamier sauce.
