Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper to create a flavorful seasoning mix. Rub this spice blend evenly onto the chicken breasts and let rest.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sauté the seasoned chicken breasts for 6-7 minutes on each side or until cooked through.
- In the same skillet, lower the heat slightly and add two tablespoons of butter until melted and bubbly.
- Whisk in all-purpose flour into the melted butter and cook until it turns a light golden color to create a roux.
- Gradually whisk in milk into the roux, cooking for about 3-5 minutes until thickened to the desired consistency.
- Remove from heat and stir in shredded cheddar cheese. Add tomatoes, green chiles, and a pinch of paprika.
- Slice the cooked chicken and return to the skillet with the cheese sauce, stirring gently to coat.
- Serve over rice, in warm tortillas, or with your choice of sides.
