Note
For best texture, ensure the cream cheese is softened at room temperature before adding it to the hot skillet to facilitate smooth melting.
If the sauce becomes too thick after standing, you can thin it with a splash of additional heavy cream or milk when reheating.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove, stirring often to prevent the cream from separating.
Adjust the amount of green chilies based on your preferred heat level; removing seeds and membranes from the chilies will reduce spiciness.
