For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of dried thyme or rosemary to the chicken mixture. If you prefer a thicker sauce, whisk together 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water and stir it into the sauce during the last few minutes of simmering. To prevent the crust from burning, you can cover the edges with foil during the last 15 minutes of baking. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave.
