Serving and Storage Tips:
Serving: This dish pairs perfectly with pasta, mashed potatoes, or crusty bread to soak up the sauce. A side of steamed green beans or a fresh salad works well too.
Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave, adding a splash of broth if the sauce thickens too much.
Variations:
Swap chicken for shrimp or tofu for a pescatarian or vegetarian option.
Add spinach during the final few minutes of cooking for extra greens.
Use coconut milk instead of cream for a dairy-free version.
FAQ:
Q: Can I use chicken thighs instead of breasts?
A: Absolutely! Boneless thighs work great and add more richness. Just adjust cooking time as needed.
Q: Is this dish spicy?
A: Only mildly, due to the red pepper flakes. You can omit them if you prefer a milder taste.
Q: Can I make this ahead?
A: Yes! It reheats beautifully, just store the chicken and sauce separately for best texture.
