Absolutely! You can prepare everything the night before and cook the next day. Leftovers also keep well for a few days or can be frozen.
You can use heavy cream for extra richness or whole milk to lighten it up. Coconut milk is a dairy-free option that adds a slight sweetness.
Keep leftovers in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze up to 2 months. Reheat gently to maintain creaminess.
Make sure to shred the chicken well to help thicken and add cheese slowly at the end to avoid separating. Simmer uncovered for a few minutes to reduce excess liquid if needed.
