Recipe Card Tips

Serve this over angel hair pasta, but it also works really well with rice or mashed potatoes if you want something a little heartier. If the sauce thickens as it sits or during reheating, loosen it with a splash of broth or milk. For leftovers, slice or shred the chicken and stir it back into the sauce so it reheats more evenly.
