5 STARS

3 servings

3.3 net carbs per serving



3 chicken breasts

a sprinkle of cumin (I used about 1/2 tsp)

a sprinkle of chili powder (I used about 1/2 tsp)

a light sprinkle of salt

2 cloves garlic, minced

3 jalapenos, seeded and chopped (we are wimps so we just used 1 but I recommend 3)

4 oz full fat cream cheese

3/4 cup chicken broth

3 slices of bacon, chopped

1 TBSP chopped fresh cilantro (can use 1 tsp dried but I don't recommend)

3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese





Pan fry the bacon until crisp. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon but leave grease. Sprinkle cumin, chili and salt on each side of chicken breasts and pan fry in the bacon grease until cooked through, flipping half way. Remove chicken and keep warm. Throw chopped jalapeno and garlic in pan and cook for approximately 2 minutes over medium heat. Add chicken broth, scraping and deglazing the leftover yummies in the pan. Add cream cheese and stir in until melted. Add shredded cheddar and stir until melted. Add bacon crumbles and cilantro, stirring through for a minute or so. Spoon sauce over chicken
