Serving Suggestions: Serve it immediately while hot, paired with a fresh green salad and a slice of garlic bread for a complete meal.
Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop with a splash of water or cream to loosen the sauce.
Variations:
Make It Spicier: Double the crushed red pepper flakes for a fiery kick.
Vegetarian Option: Swap the chicken for sautéed mushrooms or grilled zucchini for a delicious meat-free version.
Cheesy Upgrade: Add extra parmesan or mozzarella for an even richer, gooier sauce.
Low-Carb Version: Substitute penne with zucchini noodles or a low-carb pasta alternative.
FAQ:
Q: Can I use another type of pasta?
A: Definitely! Fusilli, rigatoni, or spaghetti all work beautifully with this creamy tomato sauce.
Q: Is coconut cream noticeable in flavor?
A: Coconut cream adds richness without making the dish taste like coconut. However, you can use heavy cream if you prefer a more traditional flavor.
Q: Can I make this ahead of time?
A: Yes! Prepare the sauce and chicken ahead, and simply toss with freshly cooked pasta when ready to serve.
Q: How do I prevent the chicken from drying out?
A: Be careful not to overcook the chicken — once it’s golden and no longer pink inside, remove it from the heat to keep it tender and juicy.
