Tips

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
  • The texture of the creamy sauce will change once defrosted. To help, stir in more cream while heating up the defrosted chicken.
  • If using boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cook the thighs for a bit longer; about 7 minutes per side.
