Notes

For a lighter version, substitute heavy cream with half-and-half or coconut milk. You can swap egg noodles for fettuccine or pappardelle if desired. For vegetarians, replace chicken with more veggies like spinach or zucchini. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to three days; reheat gently. Garnish with parsley for extra color and flavor; serve with crusty bread or roasted vegetables.
