FAQ’S For Creamy Rosemary Portobello Chicken
Can I use chicken thighs instead of breasts?
Yes! Chicken thighs will be more forgiving and stay juicy, but adjust the cooking time slightly.
Can I make this gluten-free?
Absolutely. Use gluten-free flour or skip the flour entirely for the sauce—it will still thicken beautifully.
How do I store leftovers?
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for 3–4 days. Reheat gently over low heat to preserve the creamy texture.
