FAQs (minimum three FAQ)
Q: Can I use frozen mushrooms?
A: Yes, but thaw and drain them first. Fresh mushrooms give a better texture.
Q: Can I use chicken thighs instead of breast?
A: Yes. Thighs are juicier and work well. Slice them thin so they cook quickly.
Q: Is there a dairy-free option?
A: Try a non-dairy sour cream or coconut cream, but the taste will change.
Q: How do I stop the sauce from splitting?
A: Warm the sour cream and add it slowly, then keep the heat low. Do not boil after adding sour cream.
