Ingredients

Scale
  • 34 Boneless skinless chicken breasts, trimmed ( I cut each breast into 23 pieces)
  • 1 8 oz package cream cheese, softened
  • 1 4 oz can chopped green chilis
  • 1 cup mexican blend or monterey jack cheese, shredded
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp chili powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp pepper

Garnish:

  • green onion, sliced
  • Tomatoes chopped
  • cilantro, chopped
  • olives (not pictured but would be great!)

Instructions

  1. Heat the oven to 375F.
  2. In a medium bowl, mix the cream cheese, garlic powder, chili powder, salt and pepper until combined. Then stir in the green chilis and stir until evenly mixed.
  3. Lay the chicken breasts flat in a baking dish. Cover the chicken breasts with the green chili mixture. Then top with the monterey jack cheese.
  4. Bake on the middle rack for 35-45 minutes or until chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear.
  5. Serve over rice or cauliflower rice
