FAQs
1. Can I prep the potatoes the day before?
Yes—roast and toss, then re-crisp in the oven just before serving for best texture.

2. Is there a shortcut for the pesto?
Use store-bought truffle-parmesan pesto—stir into Alfredo, skip mushroom sauté.

3. Can I use chicken thighs?
Yes—bone-off thighs work well. Adjust cooking time to ensure they’re fully done.

4. Can I reduce the butter and cream?
You can halve cream or butter, but sauce texture will be lighter.

5. Is this gluten-free?
Yes—no wheat, use gluten-free Parmesan if needed.

6. Can I swap mushrooms?
Yes—shiitake or portobello bring deeper, earthier notes.

7. How do I avoid sauce separating?
Heat sauce gently—don’t boil cream after adding cheese—and stir continuously.

8. My truffle oil is intense—help!
Only add 1 tsp at a time; taste and adjust. A little goes a long way.

9. Can I make this vegetarian?
Omit chicken, add roasted cauliflower steaks or chickpeas instead.

10. What wine pairs best?
A Chardonnay or light Pinot Noir complements the richness without overpowering.
