Ingredients

• 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 medium, diced onion
• 2 minced garlic cloves
• 1 medium, diced bell pepper
• 0.5 cup chicken broth
• 4 ounces cream cheese
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh cilantro
• 1 sliced into wedges lime

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the chicken breasts: rinse them under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Cut into small, bite-sized pieces.

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat olive oil and butter over medium heat until the butter is melted and sizzling.

Step 3

Add the diced onions to the skillet and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 4

Stir in the minced garlic and diced bell pepper. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, until the pepper softens.

Step 5

Increase the heat to medium-high and add the chicken pieces to the skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the chicken is lightly browned on all sides.

Step 6

Pour in the chicken broth and bring it to a simmer. This will help deglaze the pan and keep the chicken moist.

Step 7

Reduce heat to low and add the cream cheese, stirring continuously until fully melted and incorporated with the chicken.

Step 8

Sprinkle in the ground cumin, chili powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to coat the chicken evenly with the spices.

Step 9

Simmer the mixture for another 5-7 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the filling is creamy.

Step 10

Remove the skillet from the heat. Garnish with fresh chopped cilantro on top.

Step 11

Serve the chicken filling with lime wedges on the side, perfect for topping keto tortillas or scooping into crisp lettuce leaves.
