FAQ
Q: Can I use chicken thighs instead of breasts?
Yes, boneless, skinless thighs work well and stay juicy. Adjust cooking time as needed.
Q: Can I make this ahead of time?
You can prepare the sauce in advance. Reheat and add freshly cooked chicken before serving.
Q: Can I substitute cream with milk or Greek yogurt?
Heavy cream gives the richest flavor, but whole milk or Greek yogurt can be used for a lighter version—just be careful not to let it curdle.
