Equipment

  • Stove

Ingredients
  

  • 1 Yellow Pepper
  • 1 Red Pepper
  • 1 Orange Pepper
  • 1 Small Jalapeno (OPTIONAL)
  • 1 Small Red Onion
  • 1 Large Tomato
  • 1 cup Whipping Cream
  • 1 tbsp Lime Juice
  • 1 Can Chicken Breast, 12.5 oz
  • 1 Package Cacique Queso Fresco
  • Garlic powder, Cumin, Red pepper flakes to taste

Instructions
 

  • Begin by dicing up the peppers, onion, and tomatoes.  I used about 1/3 of each pepper, half the onion, and all of my tomatoes.
  • Saute the veggies in a large skillet coated in oil.  Season with garlic powder, cumin, and red pepper flakes to taste.
  • After the veggies are softened add the canned chicken breast and the lime juice.
  • Break up the chicken and continue cooking until the chicken is warm.
  • While the chicken and veggies cook, dice up the Cacique Queso Fresco and add to a saucepan with the whipping cream.
  • Cook over low heat until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth.

Notes

If the sauce isn’t thick enough you can combine a little flour and whipping cream to stirring in as a thickener like you would do when making gravy.
When the cheese sauce is ready and the chicken mixture is heated combine them in a medium bowl.
