For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a splash of white wine to deglaze the pot after sauteing the chicken and onions. Fresh herbs like parsley or basil, stirred in at the end, will elevate the dish with vibrant aromatics. If you prefer a thicker sauce, mix a tablespoon of cornstarch with two tablespoons of cold water and stir it into the pasta after releasing the pressure.
