3. In the same pan over medium heat, melt butter and then add the flour.

   

   Start the Alfredo chicken sauce.

4. Cook while stirring until well blended and creamy but don’t let it start to brown. We want it to stay fairly light in color. Add the seasonings and stir again.

   

   Add parsley and cheese to Alfredo sauce.

5. Pour in the cream a little bit at a time, stirring well as you go. It will look lumpy at first, but keep stirring and it will come together. Adjust thickness by adding a little more cream if it gets too thick.

6. Once all is blended and creamy, add parmesan cheese and stir until melted.
