Notes
Use chicken thighs for a richer flavor.
For a dairy-free version, use a dairy-free sour cream or omit it.
Add mushrooms or peas in the last hour of cooking for extra veggies.
A splash of Worcestershire sauce or garlic powder can enhance flavor.
Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
Reheat with a splash of broth if the gravy thickens too much.
