The meat is tender and creamy, while the vegetables act as a side dish, and the Philadelphia adds something extra to the recipe.

FAQ
Can you replace chicken breast?
Certainly, you can replace chicken breast with turkey breast, alternatively for a vegetarian version use Seitan
What is seitan?
It’s a gluten-based food obtained from a flour dough: once immersed in water, the dough begins to release carbohydrates and soluble proteins in the water, while the insoluble proteins, that is, the gluten, remain in the dough. After kneading and rinsing the mixture several times, a low-carb and high-protein mixture is obtained. It is used for many vegetarian recipes as a meat substitute. It can be found in supermarkets either natural or already spiced.
