Ingredients

- 1 teaspoon taco seasoning
- 1½ cups shredded Mexican cheese divided
- 4 ounces cream cheese
- 4.5 ounces chopped green chiles 1 can
- 1 tablespoon taco seasoning
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon cooking oil
- ½ cup salsa
- cilantro to garnish
Instructions

- Remove from the heat, spoon the salsa over the chicken and top with cheese. Bake for 10-12 minutes until the cheese is melted and the chicken is cooked through.
