Notes
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat by warming it up in a skillet or microwave, adding a little extra chicken broth if needed to loosen the sauce. You can also freeze it for up to 2 months but be aware the texture may change slightly when reheated. For variation, try adding sun-dried tomatoes or mushrooms, or substitute chicken with cooked sausage or a plant-based protein.
