Packaged grated cheese may also contain additives that affect melting, which is why freshly grated Parmesan is recommended.
Can I make this recipe without flour?
Yes. The flour creates a light crust and helps thicken the sauce, but it can be omitted. The sauce may need a few extra minutes of gentle simmering to reach the desired consistency.
How do I know when the chicken is cooked?
Insert a food thermometer into the thickest part of the chicken. It should register 165°F or 74°C.
