Recipe Notes & Tips
☆ This is a very quick sauce to make, however, you do need to keep an eye on it. Whisk it frequently and don’t turn up the heat too high. Cooking it too fast or over high heat may burn it.
Chicken
It needs to be cooked. This is a great option to use any leftover chicken you have in your refrigerator. You can also use a rotisserie chicken or grab a pack of cooked chicken from the grocery store.
Swiss Cheese
☆ Just a tip…baby Swiss cheese melts better than traditional Swiss cheese. But, either will do the trick with this one!
Can I Use Another Flavor Cheese?
Yes! If Swiss is not your thing, you can replace it with gruyere, Parmesan or a goat cheese. Keep in mind, you will be adding lemon juice to the sauce, so, you want your cheese to pair with it nicely.
What Can I Serve this With?
- White or Brown Rice
- Your favorite pasta
- Orzo
