Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together chili powder, ground cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, sea salt, and black pepper until well combined.
- Take your cubed, boneless skinless chicken breasts and toss them in the spice rub until every piece is evenly coated.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the seasoned chicken to the pan and sear for about 6-8 minutes.
- Lower the heat to low, add the full-fat cream cheese, heavy whipping cream, and canned diced green chiles to the skillet, whisk until smooth and creamy.
- Gradually stir in the shredded Pepper Jack cheese, melting completely before adding more until the mixture is creamy.
- Return the seared chicken with any accumulated juices back to the skillet, gently stir to coat and simmer for another 1-2 minutes.
- Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve immediately.
