Step 4: Create the Creamy Sauce
Add the heavy cream to the skillet, stirring until everything is evenly combined. Let the mixture cook for another 2-3 minutes. This will thicken up and create a rich, creamy sauce that ties everything together.
Step 5: Combine and Add Cheese
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, and stir it into the sauce. Sprinkle the shredded cheese on top of the mixture and cover the skillet. Allow the cheese to melt into the sauce, creating that perfectly creamy, cheesy texture.
Step 6: Serve and Enjoy
Once everything is combined and the cheese is melted, your dish is ready to serve! Garnish with some fresh herbs if you like, and enjoy a hearty, comforting meal in no time.
