Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375 F

Step 2

NOTE: directions include baking the chicken from raw in the oven and also searing first in a skillet and then finishing by baking in the oven for a shorter amount of time.

Step 3

Cut the 2 large chicken breasts into halves lengthwise to make 4 chicken cutlets.

Step 4

In a large skillet over medium high heat, add 1 Tbsp of olive oil to the pan. Sear the chicken breast cutlets for 3 minutes on each side. *skip this step if you want to make the whole dish in the oven*

Step 5

Sprinkle the taco seasoning over the chicken

Step 6

Spread the whipped cream cheese over the top of the seasoned chicken breasts.

Step 7

Spread the diced green chilis and the green chili salsa over the cream cheese layer and then top with the shredded Monterey Jack cheese.

Step 8

If you first seared the chicken, bake the chicken cutlets for 10-15 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165F.

Step 9

If you did NOT sear the chicken ake the entire recipe for 30-35 minutes until a thermometer reads 165F, when inserted into the thickest part of a chicken breast. Broil the cheese for a couple minutes if you prefer it crispy and browed.

Step 10

Garnish with chives, chopped parsley, sour cream, and salsa.
