Ingredients

Chicken and Dairy Ingredients

  • 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts (Pound slightly for even cooking or cube for faster browning.)
  • 8 oz cream cheese (Soften at room temperature for easier stirring and a smoother finish.)
  • 4 cups chicken broth (Use low-sodium broth for better control of salt content.)
  • 4 oz canned mild diced green chilies (Drain slightly before adding.)
  • 1 medium onion (Chop into small pieces, yellow or white onion works well.)
  • 3 cloves garlic (Mince finely or press for even distribution.)
  • 1 tsp cumin (Use fresh cumin for warmth.)
  • 1 tsp chili powder (Choose a good quality chili powder for rich flavor.)
  • 1 tsp paprika (Smoked paprika adds depth, sweet paprika for less smokiness.)
  • 1 cup heavy cream (Measure cold and add slowly to prevent curdling.)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil (Use mild olive oil for sautéing.)
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro (Chop and add before serving.)
  • 1 medium lime (Use fresh lime juice to enhance flavors.)

Instructions 

Preparation

  • Sauté the onion and garlic in olive oil until softened.
  • Add the chicken breast and cook until browned.

Cooking

  • Stir in the green chilies, cumin, chili powder, and paprika.
  • Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a boil, then reduce heat.
  • Add cream cheese and heavy cream, stirring until smooth.
  • Simmer until the chili thickens, about 10 to 15 minutes.

Serving

  • Garnish with cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice before serving.

Notes

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for up to 4 days. Reheat gently to maintain the creamy texture.
