Notes

This dish is best served hot. Pair with rice, mashed potatoes, or fresh bread to soak up the creamy sauce. A side of salad or steamed vegetables can add a refreshing touch. To store leftovers, allow the chicken to cool completely before placing it in an airtight container. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For longer storage, consider freezing the chicken in a freezer-safe container. Thaw it in the fridge before reheating. Adjust the spices according to your taste; if you like it spicier, add a bit of cayenne pepper.
