Lower heat to medium and mix everything together. Add in chicken broth and 1/2 tbsp of butter.
Drop heat to low and let simmer for a few minutes.

Notes

You could heat this up by adding in some spicy sausage. Use more of a mild sausage if you dont want it too spicy.
This was delicious over some Cauliflower rice! You could top it on numerous things as well!
