Swaps, storing and making ahead

Good to know

Swaps

  • No pappardelle? Use fettuccine or tagliatelle for a similar wide-noodle texture.
  • No heavy cream? Half-and-half works, though the sauce will be a bit thinner.
  • No chicken breast? Boneless chicken thighs work; cook until cooked through with no pink inside.

Storing it

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3–4 days. Reheat on the stove until steaming hot, adding a splash of water or cream to loosen the sauce.

Making it ahead

Chop the onion and slice the raw chicken up to a day ahead and keep refrigerated until ready to cook.
