In a large pot over medium heat, add a splash of olive oil and sauté diced chicken until golden brown (approximately 7-10 minutes). Remove and set aside.

In the same pot, sauté onion, carrots, and celery until softened (about 5-7 minutes). Add minced garlic and cook for another minute.

Pour in chicken broth and add Italian seasoning; bring to a simmer.

Stir in cream cheese until melted and well combined.

Return cooked chicken to the pot; let simmer for an additional few minutes.

Serve hot with crusty bread or garlic knots.
