FAQs

Can I use frozen chicken breasts?

Yes, you can use frozen chicken breasts, but you may need to extend the cooking time by 1-2 hours. Ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) to be safe.

Can I substitute the cream cheese?

If you prefer, you can substitute the cream cheese with a low-fat or dairy-free alternative. Just be aware that it might slightly alter the texture and flavor of the sauce.
