FAQ:
Can I use chicken thighs instead of chicken breasts? Yes, chicken thighs work wonderfully in this recipe. They’re even more flavorful and juicy, but be sure to adjust the cooking time as thighs may take a little longer to cook through.
Can I make this dish ahead of time? While the chicken and pasta can be prepped in advance, it's best to assemble and serve the dish fresh for the creamiest, most flavorful results. If you do need to make it ahead, store the components separately and reheat them gently.
Can I use a different type of cheese? Yes, you can substitute Parmesan with other hard cheeses such as Pecorino Romano or Asiago for a different flavor. However, Parmesan adds a signature nuttiness that is hard to replace.
