Start by melting 2 Tbsp butter in a large skillet. Add chicken strips, saute until chicken is cooked through. Remove and set aside for now.
In the same skillet add broccoli, along with ⅛ cup of water. Cook for approximately 5-7 minutes, or until broccoli becomes bright green and slightly tender. Remove and set aside for now.
In the same skillet, add 2 Tbsp butter and minced garlic. Once butter is melted and garlic becomes fragrant, add heavy cream and cream cheese. Stir continuously so nothing sticks or burns.
Stir in both cheeses, onion powder and oregano. Continue to stir until everything is melted and creamy. *If your sauce is too thick, you can add 1-2 Tbsp of water.
Return the chicken and broccoli to the sauce. Cook until everything is heated back up.
