Notes
- Swap butter with olive oil for a healthier version that reduces saturated fat intake while maintaining delicious flavor.
- Choose skinless chicken breasts to keep the dish lean and lower in calories without compromising protein content.
- Opt for Greek yogurt instead of sour cream for a protein-packed, tangier alternative that cuts down on fat percentage.
- Consider adding roasted bell peppers or spinach for extra nutrition and vibrant color to elevate the dish’s visual appeal and nutrient profile.
