Recipe of the week - Chicken in Southwest Cream

I found this recipe online on my journey to make more low carb dishes.  We tried it and really enjoyed it.  It will definitely become part of my cooking repertoire.  It's relatively easy and quick, so good for cooking on a weeknight after a long day at work.

Chicken in Southwest Cream
1 Tbsp olive oil
2 medium chicken breasts, diced
1 small onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, diced
4.5 ounce can of green chilies
1 1/2 tsp cumin
1/4 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup shredded cheddar

Brown chicken in oil, adding onions about halfway through.  Once the onions begin to soften, add garlic and cook a few more minutes.  Once chicken is thoroughly browned, add chilies, cumin and heavy cream.  Simmer until sauce begins to bubble and thicken.  Add cheddar and stir until melted.

If you're not looking for a completely low carb meal, this would be great over rice or pasta.  Also, I used chicken thighs that I cut into strips instead of dicing and it worked out great!

Enjoy!
