Notes
Use chicken thighs for a juicier result if preferred.
Avoid lifting the lid during cooking to maintain even heat.
For a dairy-free version, substitute coconut milk and nutritional yeast.
Add vegetables like spinach, mushrooms, or peas to make it a full meal.
Let the dish rest for 5 minutes before serving to help the sauce thicken naturally.
