FAQs

Q: Can I use chicken thighs instead of breasts?
A: Yes. Thighs work well and stay juicy. Adjust bake time if they are very thick.

Q: Can I use milk instead of heavy cream?
A: Milk is thinner and may not make a thick sauce. Heavy cream gives a richer, keto-friendly texture.

Q: Is this recipe freezer safe?
A: Yes. Cool fully, then freeze in a sealed container for up to 2 months.

Q: Can I make this ahead of time?
A: Yes. Cook steps 1–5, cover, and refrigerate. Add cream and cheese and bake when ready.
