Notes
- For a lighter version, substitute heavy cream with half-and-half or whole milk.
- Leftover roasted chicken can be used instead of raw chicken breasts.
- Add diced jalapeños or red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.
- Vegetarian option: replace chicken with chickpeas and use vegetable broth.
- Cheesy option: stir in shredded cheddar or gouda cheese at the end.
- For a smoky flavor, top with crumbled crispy bacon.
