Notes

For a healthier version, consider using half Greek yogurt and half cream. The sauce can be thickened with extra Parmesan or adjusted with additional chicken broth if too thick. This recipe is versatile; it pairs well with pasta, rice, or low-carb options like zucchini noodles. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to three days and can be reheated with a splash of chicken broth to retain creaminess.
