Notes

  • Chicken Type: You can use either chicken breasts or thighs. Thighs will give a richer, juicier result, but breasts are a leaner option.
  • Make it Dairy-Free: Substitute the heavy cream with coconut cream or almond milk and use a dairy-free cheese option.
  • Freezing: This recipe can be frozen for up to 2-3 months. Make sure to cool it completely before freezing. To reheat, thaw and heat on the stove or in the microwave.
  • Consistency: If the sauce is too thin, cook uncovered for the last 30 minutes to thicken it up. If it’s too thick, add a bit more cream or broth to reach your desired consistency.
