Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 tablespoons of olive oil
  • 1 1/2 pounds chicken breast (cut into bite-sized cubes)
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 (4 ounce) can mild green chiles
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 2 ounces cream cheese (softened)
  • 1 1/2 cup shredded pepper jack cheese
  • 1/2 cup white American cheese

Instructions

  1. Prepare the spice blend by combining chili powder, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, oregano, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add cubed chicken and season with the spice blend. Cook for about 3-4 minutes per side until browned and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet over low heat, add green chiles, cream cheese, and heavy cream. Gradually mix in shredded cheeses until melted and smooth; add more cream if needed.
  4. Return cooked chicken to the skillet, tossing to coat evenly in the queso sauce.
  5. Serve immediately with fresh vegetables or over cauliflower rice for a complete meal.
