Step-By-Step Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix together chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Rub this mixture over the chicken breasts and let sit for 10 minutes.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
- Lower the heat and add butter to the skillet, allowing it to melt completely.
- Whisk in all-purpose flour and cook for about 1 minute to create a roux.
- Gradually pour in the milk while whisking to avoid lumps and cook until the mixture thickens and bubbles gently.
- Stir in shredded cheddar cheese until melted, then add in diced tomatoes, green chilies, and paprika.
- Slice the cooked chicken into strips and stir into the cheese sauce until coated.
- Serve hot over rice, in tortillas, or with a salad and enjoy!

Notes
Use a meat thermometer to ensure chicken reaches 165°F. For extra creaminess, stir in sour cream or cream cheese at the end. Fresh ingredients enhance flavor.
