Ingredients
- 2 large chicken breast
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or preferred cooking oil
- ½ cup onion diced
- 1 4-ounce can green chilies drained
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1/3 cup chicken broth
- 2 ounces cream cheese softened
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese divided
Seasonings
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- ½ teaspoon chili powder
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
Instructions
- Start by placing the chicken breasts on a cutting board. With a very sharp knife, slice through the chicken breast as if you are butterflying it to make four thinner, uniform chicken breasts. Evenly sprinkle the seasonings over both sides of all four cutlets.
- Heat a 12-inch skillet over medium heat, then add about 1 tablespoon olive oil or your preferred cooking oil.
- Sear the chicken in the skillet 2-3 minutes on each side until nicely browned, then remove from skillet and set aside.
- Add the drained can of green chilies, heavy cream, broth, cream cheese, and then reduce heat to low.
- Stir mixture until cream cheese melts completely. Once melted, add 1/2 cup of the shredded cheese to the sauce, stir well.
- Add the chicken to the skillet and cover with the remaining cheese.
- Place a lid on the skillet and let simmer over low for 6-8 minutes.
