What are Green Chiles

If you have never cooked with Green Chiles before, you are in for a treat! These are mild green chile peppers grown in the southwestern part of the United States and Mexico.  Although there are different varieties, most, including the ones that we cook with in this recipe, are mild so they work to enhance the flavor of the dish without adding much heat.

How to Serve Keto Green Chile Chicken

Let’s talk about the combination of flavors in this recipe.  There is something magical that happens when you combine green chilies, cumin, cream cheese and garlic.  Next you add your protein… the chicken and you get this delicious combo.

This recipe would be delicious served over a bed of sautéed spinach, cauliflower rice, or greens of your choice, or any of the other options listed below.

Top this off with a spoonful of sour cream or my favorite homemade Pico de Gallo, or even some fresh chopped cilantro for the perfect meal!
