Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm gently on the stove or in the microwave, adding a splash of milk or cream to restore creaminess. For extra flavor, add herbs like basil or thyme, or red pepper flakes for heat. You can vary the recipe by adding vegetables or using shrimp instead of chicken.
