Storage and reheating tips
Storing leftovers is straightforward. Place any remaining chicken and sauce in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days. When ready to enjoy again, reheat it gently on the stovetop or in the microwave. Just be sure to warm it through without overcooking to keep that creamy texture intact.
Helpful cooking tips
- For an extra burst of flavor, consider marinating your chicken fillets in olive oil, garlic, and Italian herbs for about an hour before cooking.
- Always taste your sauce before serving, and don’t hesitate to adjust the spice level by adding more red pepper flakes.
- If you prefer a thicker sauce, let it simmer a bit longer before adding the chicken back in.
Creative twists
Feel free to experiment with different herbs like thyme or rosemary for added depth in flavor. You could also try adding spinach or sun-dried tomatoes to the sauce for a fresh twist. For a lighter version, substitute heavy cream with half-and-half or low-fat Greek yogurt.
