September 9, 2012 - Easy Cheesy Chili Chicken

Tonight's dinner was excellent! The chicken was so full of flavor, it was like a party in the mouth! A spicy party for that matter! This is definitely a meal for flavor seekers. We had some carrots and strawberries to go along with the chicken. This is a must-try!!

GEORGE STELLA'S EASY CHEESY CHILI CHICKEN 
2 tablespoons olive oil 
2 tablespoons cilantro 
1 tablespoon chili powder 
1 tablespoon cumin 
2 teaspoons salt 
1 clove garlic, chopped 
1/2 teaspoon pepper 
1/8 teaspoon cayenne 
4-5 boneless chicken breasts 
1/4 cup green pepper, julienned 
2 tablespoons red onion, diced 
1/4 cup Roma tomato, diced (about 1/2 small) 
4 ounces colby-jack cheese, shredded

Stir together the first 8 ingredients in a medium bowl. It will be a thick paste. Add the chicken and rub the seasoning mixture all over the meat until coated evenly. Place the chicken on a foil-lined baking sheet. Arrange the vegetables over the chicken. Bake at 400º 20 minutes or until the chicken is just done. Do not overcook. Top with the cheese and return to oven until melted, about 5 minutes.
