Notes
- Ingredient Quality: Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor.
- Browning Chicken: While optional, browning the chicken adds depth to the dish.
- Cream Alternatives: For a lighter version, substitute heavy cream with half-and-half or a non-dairy option.
- Adjusting Sauce: If the sauce is too thick, add more chicken broth; if too thin, let it simmer uncovered to reduce.
