Notes
Use good-quality Asiago cheese for the best flavor. You can substitute chicken with shrimp, turkey, or a vegetarian option like roasted vegetables. For a dairy-free version, replace cream and cheese with coconut cream and a vegan cheese alternative. Avoid overcooking the chicken to keep it tender.
