1/2 cup cream cheese spread
1 1/2 tsp Paprika
1 tsp ground Cumin
1 tsp dried Oregano
3/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper

1/4 cup red pepper

Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Place the chicken breasts on a cutting board and butterfly them (slice 3/4 of the way horizontally) - season with salt and pepper on both sides.
Add 1 Tbsp of olive oil to a non- stick skillet, and place over high heat. Cook the chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden, then transfer them to a plate.
Rest the chicken breasts for 5 minutes, chop them into 1/2 inch cubes, and add them to a bowl.
Mix in the cream cheese, 1/4 cup of shredded cheese, and ½ tsp each paprika, cumin, and oregano. Taste and adjust seasoning, set aside.
Place the skillet over medium-high heat, and drizzle 2 tbsp of olive oil.
Add the onions and cook them for one minute. Add the red bell pepper, green bell pepper, 1 tsp paprika, ½ tsp cumin, ½ tsp oregano, ¼ tsp black pepper, and 1/4 tsp salt. Cook for 2-3 minutes.
Transfer the chicken mixture to a medium- sized casserole dish, and distribute it evenly.
Spread the cooked onions and peppers over the chicken. Finally, sprinkle 3/4 cup of shredded cheese on top.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is golden and bubbly.
Let the casserole cool for 10 minutes.
Garnish it with sliced avocado, coriander leaves, and sliced jalapenos. Serve immediately.
