## **Instructions**
### 1. **Prepare the Protein:**
Start by cooking the **chicken breasts** in a skillet over medium heat with **olive oil**. Season the chicken with **salt** and **pepper**, and cook until golden brown and fully cooked through, about 6-8 minutes per side depending on thickness. Once cooked, remove the chicken and set it aside to rest.
### 2. **Sauté Vegetables:**
In the same pan, add the **diced onion** and cook until softened and translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add the **minced garlic** and sauté for an additional minute, until fragrant.
### 3. **Build the Creamy Sauce:**
Add the **chicken broth** to the pan with the onions and garlic, scraping up any bits from the bottom of the skillet. Stir in the **sour cream** (or cream cheese) and **soy sauce** (or Worcestershire sauce). Let it simmer for 3-5 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and the flavors to meld together.
### 4. **Shred the Chicken:**
While the sauce is simmering, shred the cooked **chicken** using two forks or a stand mixer. Add the shredded chicken back into the pan with the sauce and stir well to combine. Taste and adjust the seasoning with more **salt** and **pepper** if needed.
### 5. **Add Cheese and Serve:**
Sprinkle the **cheese** over the chicken mixture, allowing it to melt into the sauce, creating a creamy, cheesy texture. If you want extra flavor, squeeze in a little **lemon juice** for a fresh, tangy note.
### 6. **Serve It Up:**
Transfer the dish to a serving platter and garnish with **fresh herbs** and any optional toppings like **crispy fried onions** or **chopped green onions**. You can serve it on a bed of rice, with warm tortillas, or just by itself for a low-carb option.
