Ingredients
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 cup diced green chilies, canned (mild or medium heat)
1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup chicken broth
1 small yellow onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
Instructions
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken pieces to the skillet and season with cumin, garlic powder, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is browned and cooked through.
Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the chicken. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the onion is softened.
Pour in the chicken broth and diced green chilies. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer.
Reduce heat to medium-low and stir in the sour cream until fully incorporated.
Sprinkle the shredded Monterey Jack and cheddar cheeses evenly over the chicken mixture. Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for 3-4 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle chopped fresh cilantro on top before serving.
