Ingredients:

  • 1 pound (450 g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml) olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon (5 g) chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon (5 g) cumin
  • 1 teaspoon (5 g) paprika
  • ½ teaspoon (2.5 g) garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon (2.5 g) onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon (2.5 g) salt
  • ½ teaspoon (2.5 g) black pepper
  • 1 cup (100 g) shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup (100 g) shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 small bell pepper, diced
  • ½ medium onion, diced
  • ½ cup (120 ml) sour cream (optional, for serving)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Pat the chicken dry with paper towels. In a small bowl, mix olive oil, chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Rub the spice mixture evenly over the chicken breasts.
  3. In a skillet over medium heat, add a bit of oil and sauté diced onion and bell pepper until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Place the seasoned chicken in the baking dish. Top each breast with the sautéed vegetables. Cover with a generous layer of cheddar and mozzarella cheese. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the cheese is bubbly and golden.
  5. Allow to cool slightly before serving. Garnish with sour cream if desired.
