Notes
- Switch out the chicken with another protein like lean beef
- Feel free to switch out some of the veggies with other veggies like green beans or zucchini.
- Any potatoes will work. I used sweet potatoes to mix it up a bit with a hint of sweetness but you can certainly make this chicken stew without.
- Try adding some greens like spinach or kale
- Swap the cream cheese with some coconut milk or heavy cream.
- If you don't have chicken broth, use vegetable broth or chicken bouillon and water.
