Mexican Chicken with Cheese Sauce
Spicy Chicken Delight with Silky Cheese Sauce
Ingredients:
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup cream cheese
1/4 cup milk
1 green chili, finely chopped
1 red bell pepper, diced
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
Directions:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Season the chicken breasts with chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and sear the chicken on both sides until golden, about 3-4 minutes per side.
Transfer the chicken to a baking dish.
In the same skillet, add cream cheese, cheddar cheese, and milk. Stir until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth.
Stir in the green chili and red bell pepper, and cook for another 2 minutes.
Pour the cheese sauce over the chicken in the baking dish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
Garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.
