Ingredients

  • 3-4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, trimmed​

  • 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened​

  • 1 (4 oz) can chopped green chiles​

  • 1 cup Monterey Jack cheese, shredded​

  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder​

  • ¼ teaspoon cumin​

  • ¼ teaspoon salt​

  • ¼ teaspoon pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).​

  • In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and pepper until well mixed. Stir in the chopped green chiles until evenly distributed.​

  • Place the chicken breasts flat in a baking dish. Spread the green chile and cream cheese mixture over the chicken breasts. Sprinkle the shredded Monterey Jack cheese on top.​

  • Bake on the middle rack for 35-45 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear.​

  • Serve hot over sautéed spinach or cauliflower rice for a complete keto-friendly meal. Enjoy!

Notes

  • For easier serving, you can cut the chicken into halves or chunks, or use chicken tenderloins instead of full chicken breasts. Note that cooking time may be reduced.​

  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days or in the freezer for up to a month.​

  • This recipe is naturally gluten-free, low carb, and keto-friendly.
