Q/A

Q1: Can I make this ahead of time?
Yes, but the sauce thickens as it cools. Reheat with a splash of milk or broth.

Q2: Can I freeze it?
Freezing isn’t ideal due to the cream, but it will keep in the fridge for up to 2 days.

Q3: Can I make it dairy-free?
Yes! Use coconut milk instead of cream and nutritional yeast instead of Parmesan.

Q4: What cut of chicken works best?
Chicken breasts or thighs both work—thighs will be juicier, breasts are leaner.
