Notes
For a lower-fat option, substitute half-and-half for heavy cream or use a dairy-free cream alternative. Optional variations include adding cooked chicken, shrimp, or steamed broccoli. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; add a splash of cream or milk when reheating.
