Some chicken recipes are boring and bland, which is why you hear so many people complain, “I’m so tired of chicken.” However, this Mexican Chicken with Cheese Sauce is none of that!

This chicken has a dry rub that is totally customizable when it comes to heat. You can up the spice level to suit your personal tastes. This works well in our home, because I will rub mine down first, and then add a little extra crushed red pepper flakes, for Zack and the girls.

How do I keep my chicken breasts from being dry?

Well, that’s an easy one! Invest in a meat thermometer. This one is pretty cheap and has a lot of great features.

Also don’t cut into your chicken breasts to check to see if it’s done – use that meat thermometer!

Wanna know a great boneless skinless chicken breast cooking tip…

On average, most people over cook boneless skinless chicken breasts because they are worried about it being under cooked and the fear of salmonella. They use the test of slicing the chicken through the middle to check to see if it’s still pink inside, and when you do that, you lose all of the juices, resulting in dry chicken, if you didn’t overcook it. So how do you prevent that?

Well, the average cook time on the stove top, over medium to high heat is about 6 to 8 minutes per side. *This will depend on the size of your chicken breasts. Yea, that’s it. Again if you buy super thick boneless skinless chicken breasts your time will increase per side, but even with the thickest of chicken breasts, I usually have never cooked longer than 10 minutes per side. Invest in a thermometer and you simply won’t have to worry!

Let’s talk cheese sauce!

I will start off by saying that this cheese sauce goes so well with this chicken, but it also makes a wonderful smooth and creamy cheese dip for chips, pretzels, and it’s the perfect sauce for homemade macaroni and cheese! Yep, one little sauce can do all that.

The cheese sauce is what makes this dish. The chicken is juicy, perfectly seasoned, and tastes amazing all on it’s own. However, when you add this sauce, your taste buds will sing with happiness.

The best way to serve this is on top of our recipe for perfect Mexican rice.
