Notes

This dish can be made vegan by substituting chicken with chickpeas or mushrooms and using vegetable broth. Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for 3-4 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave, adding a splash of water if it thickens up too much.
