Pollo con Queso Ingredients
- Olive oil, 1-2 teaspoons, as ingredients
- Chicken breast weighing 1 1/2 pounds, cubed into bite-sized pieces
- one tablespoon of chili powder
- 1 paprika teaspoon
- 1 teaspoon of powdered garlic
- 1 teaspoon of powdered onion
- 1/9 cup cumin
- Oregano, half a teaspoon
- 0.5 tsp. each of salt and pepper

- 4 ounces of mild green chilies in a can
- 1/4 cup heavy cream plus more, if necessary, for thinning.
- 2 ounces softened cream cheese

- White American Cheese, half a cup
Instructions:
- Set aside all of the spices in a small bowl.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil to a medium temperature.
