Serving: Best served immediately with bread, rice, or pasta to soak up the creamy sauce.
Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Reheating: Reheat gently on the stovetop with a splash of chicken broth or cream to maintain the silky sauce texture.
Variations
Cheesy Twist: Stir in 1/2 cup grated Parmesan for extra richness.
Spicy Kick: Add crushed red pepper flakes or cayenne pepper when seasoning the chicken.
Veggie Boost: Substitute or add zucchini, bell peppers, or peas for more color and nutrition.
Light Version: Use half-and-half instead of heavy cream for a lighter sauce.
FAQ
Q: Can I use chicken breast instead of thighs?
A: Yes! Just adjust cooking time slightly, as breasts cook faster and can dry out more quickly.
Q: Can I make this ahead of time?
A: Yes, prepare up to step 5, then finish cooking the chicken and simmering the sauce right before serving.
Q: Can I freeze this dish?
A: Cream-based sauces don’t always freeze well, but you can freeze the cooked chicken and potatoes separately, then make the sauce fresh.
