What To Serve with This Chicken Recipe

I like to serve this recipe with jasmine white rice or you can use brown rice.You can also serve it with cauliflower rice. You can  serve this dish with pasta. I recommend a bigger noodle. There is a lot of sauce and it’s nice to have a heavier noodle take that on. For the ultimate comfort type of meal though, try it with mashed potatoes. Something about mashed potatoes translates to the ultimate comfort food and that creamy sauce is perfect for the starchy carbs—of course you could also do it up with cauliflower mash, if you wanted to be on the healthier side.
