Recipes Tips:
If you want to make the sauce even creamier, you can add a tablespoon of cream cheese or mascarpone cheese to the skillet. You can also add some white wine or chicken broth to the sauce for extra flavor.
For a healthier version of this recipe, you can use Greek yogurt instead of heavy cream and serve the chicken with a side of steamed vegetables or a salad.
To save time, you can use a store-bought rotisserie chicken instead of cooking the chicken from scratch. Just shred the chicken and add it to the sauce.
