Notes

You can substitute heavy cream with half-and-half or full-fat coconut milk for a lighter sauce. Feel free to use chicken thighs instead of breasts for a richer flavor. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop, adding a splash of broth or cream to restore the sauce's consistency.
