Ingredients

Scale

1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
In a medium bowl, combine chicken pieces, ground cumin, garlic powder, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
Add the seasoned chicken to the hot skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is browned and cooked through.
Reduce heat to medium and add diced green chilies and chicken broth to the skillet. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer.
Cook for 5 minutes, allowing the sauce to reduce slightly.
Remove the skillet from heat and stir in sour cream until the sauce is creamy and well combined.
Sprinkle shredded Monterey Jack and cheddar cheeses evenly over the chicken and sauce.
