👨‍🍳 Pro Meal Prep Tips for This Dish

  • Low heat for yogurt: always stir Greek yogurt into sauces over low heat to prevent curdling.
  • Sun-dried tomato oil: use 1 tsp of oil from the tomato jar to sear chicken for intense Italian aroma.
  • Sauce rejuvenation: pasta absorbs sauce over 3 days; a splash of water before reheating restores silkiness.
