In the same pot, sauté diced onion and garlic until fragrant and translucent.

Pour in chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.

Add sun-dried tomatoes, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes. Return chicken to the pot.

Notes
For a shortcut, use shredded rotisserie chicken.
Add orzo, gnocchi, or rice for a heartier meal.
To freeze, omit the cream and cheese, then add them when reheating.
Substitute coconut milk for a dairy-free option.
