Stir in the cubed chicken and sliced mushrooms. Cook, stirring frequently, until the chicken is no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken and mushroom mixture from the skillet using a slotted spoon.

To the same skillet, add the white wine and beef broth. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook until the liquid is reduced by half, about 15-20 minutes. Reduce the heat to low, then add the softened cream cheese and butter, whisking until melted and smooth.
