Notes

  • Keep the heat low after adding the sour cream to prevent curdling.
  • Chicken thighs can be used instead of chicken breast.
  • Crème fraîche is a great substitute for sour cream.
  • Add a splash of dry white wine or brandy for extra depth of flavour.
  • Serve with rice, pasta, mashed potatoes, or crusty bread.
  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Freeze only if using crème fraîche for the best texture after reheating.
