❓ Q & A 

Q1: Can I use boneless chicken thighs?

Yes, thighs work perfectly and stay juicy.

Q2: How do I make the sauce thicker?

Simmer longer or add 1–2 extra tablespoons of parmesan cheese.

Q3: Can I replace heavy cream?

For low-carb, heavy cream is best.
You can also do ½ heavy cream + ½ cream cheese.

Q4: Can I meal prep this?

Yes, it lasts up to 3 days in the fridge.

Q5: How can I make it spicy?

Add red chili flakes or a pinch of cayenne pepper.

Q6: What if my sauce splits?

Lower the heat — cream must not be added on high heat.
If it splits, whisk in 1 tbsp cream cheese to fix it.
