Serve hot for the best flavor and texture.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently on the stove to avoid curdling the sauce.
For meal prep, keep the components separate and combine when ready to serve.
Variations:
Swap cremini mushrooms for button or shiitake mushrooms for different flavor notes.
Add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce for a subtle heat.
Use fresh sun-dried tomatoes soaked in water if oil-packed are unavailable.
Substitute chicken with shrimp or tofu for a different protein option.
FAQ:
Can I use chicken thighs instead of breasts?
Yes, boneless skinless thighs work well and add extra juiciness. Adjust cooking time as needed.
Is it possible to make the sauce dairy-free?
Yes, substitute butter with olive oil, use coconut cream or cashew cream, and dairy-free cheese alternatives.
How can I make this dish ahead of time?
Prepare all components separately and refrigerate. Reheat gently before assembling.
Can I freeze leftovers?
Sauces with cream may separate when frozen. It’s best to freeze chicken and asparagus separately and prepare fresh sauce when serving.
