In a saucepan, add the butter, olive oil, and minced garlic over medium high heat. Sauté for about 45 seconds. Pour in the whipping cream, cream cheese, chicken broth, and the seasonings. Mix to combine, then bring to a boil, then simmer for 10 minutes. Add the Parmesan cheese, mix to combine and allow to cook for 1-2 minutes.

To make the cream sauce:
In a saucepan, melt the butter, then add the minced garlic, then cook on medium heat for about 10 minutes. Then add the chicken broth. After it's fully cooked, take it off the heat, then add the cream cheese , white pepper,

In the same pan, combine the shredded chicken, steamed broccoli, cauliflower, and mushrooms. Pour the sauce over top and stir well. Pour into a 9x13 inch dish and spread into an even layer.

Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the top.
Bake in the preheated oven, uncovered, 20 minutes, then broil for another 5 minutes, or until the cheese is starting to brown and bubble.

Allow to cool, then enjoy.
