Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave with a splash of broth or cream to keep the sauce smooth.
Variations:
Add a Kick: Mix in a pinch of red pepper flakes for a subtle heat.
Mushroom Magic: Add sliced mushrooms with the garlic for an earthy flavor.
Cheesy Swap: Try Asiago or Romano instead of Parmesan for a bolder twist.
Herb Upgrade: Fresh thyme or basil can add a fresh herbal note to the sauce.
FAQ
Q: Can I use chicken thighs instead of breasts?
Absolutely! Boneless thighs work wonderfully and stay juicy. Adjust the cooking time as needed.
Q: Is there a dairy-free version of this recipe?
You can substitute coconut cream for heavy cream and use a plant-based butter and cheese alternative. Note that this will change the flavor slightly.
Q: Can I make this dish ahead of time?
Yes! Prepare the sauce and chicken separately, then combine and reheat just before serving.
Q: What if my sauce is too thin?
Let it simmer longer uncovered, or stir in a teaspoon of cornstarch dissolved in a tablespoon of cold water to help thicken.
