Note

To prevent the yogurt sauce from curdling, ensure the heat is kept at a medium-low level when adding the yogurt mixture, and stir constantly as it thickens.

For a richer flavor, you can substitute the instant chicken bouillon with 3/4 cup of homemade or low-sodium chicken broth.

Leftover sauce can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove, adding a splash of water if the sauce has thickened too much.

This dish pairs well with a simple green salad or steamed green beans for added vegetables.
