#### **Instructions**:
1. **Prep the Ingredients**: Start by chopping the onions, mincing the garlic, and cutting up any veggies you want to include. If you’re using chicken or another protein, make sure it’s cut into bite-sized pieces for quick cooking.
2. **Cook the Protein**: Heat the **olive oil** in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season your chicken, beef, or whatever protein you’re using with salt, pepper, and your favorite spices. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside.
3. **Sauté the Veggies**: In the same pan, add the **butter**. Once it melts, toss in the **onions** and **garlic**. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant. Add any additional veggies (like **mushrooms** or **spinach**) and cook until softened.
4. **Create the Creamy Sauce**: Once your veggies are nice and tender, pour in the **heavy cream**. Stir well to combine. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes until the cream thickens slightly.
5. **Add the Cheese**: Stir in the shredded **cheese** of your choice. I usually go with parmesan for a rich, nutty flavor, but mozzarella or cheddar are perfect for a more gooey, creamy result. Stir until the cheese melts into the sauce.
6. **Combine and Serve**: Return the cooked protein to the pan and stir everything together. Let the mixture simmer for another few minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. Garnish with fresh **herbs** like parsley or basil for a pop of color and added flavor.
7. **Serve It Up**: Serve this comforting, creamy dish over pasta, rice, or even a bed of mashed potatoes. Or, if you’re feeling fancy, scoop it up with crusty bread!
