Ingredients:
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1 cup shredded Mexican blend cheese
1/2 cup diced ripe tomatoes
1/4 cup diced green chilies
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, finely chopped (optional for garnish)
Lime wedges, for serving
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Season the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, and paprika.
Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden.
Remove the chicken and set aside. In the same skillet, add tomatoes and green chilies; sauté for 2-3 minutes.
Place the chicken back into the skillet on top of the tomato mixture. Sprinkle the cheese evenly over the chicken.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is melted.
Garnish with cilantro and serve with lime wedges.
