Keep It Fresh

Store your leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for three days.

This dish is a fantastic option for weekday meal prep lunches.

When reheating, use a low heat on the stove to keep the sauce smooth.

Tips for Best Results

• Use rotisserie chicken to save even more time.
• Don’t skip the cornstarch slurry for a thick, velvety sauce.
• Avoid boiling the sauce after adding the Greek yogurt.
• Use bone broth for an extra boost of collagen and protein.
• Add a squeeze of lemon at the end for a bright finish.
• Chop your onions and celery small so they cook quickly.

Easy Flavor Ideas

• Try using leftover turkey after the holidays for a festive twist.
• Add sliced mushrooms for an earthy, savory depth of flavor.
• Swap the peas for green beans if you prefer a different crunch.
• Use a dairy-free yogurt to make this recipe paleo-friendly.

Common Questions

Can I freeze this recipe?

Yes, you can freeze the filling without the Greek yogurt. Add the yogurt after thawing and reheating for the best texture.

Why did my sauce separate?

This usually happens if the heat is too high when adding yogurt. Always remove the skillet from the heat first.

I hope this warm bowl brings a little extra comfort to your kitchen tonight. It is proof that healthy eating can be truly delicious and simple. Enjoy every creamy bite!
