1. Chicken: Opt for boneless, skinless chicken breasts, thighs, or tenders, which will be cut into bite-sized pieces for quicker cooking.

2. Spices: You’ll need chili powder, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, oregano, salt, and pepper to season the chicken and add that delicious Mexican flair.

3. Green chiles: Mild green chiles add a subtle heat and flavor to the dish. Feel free to use hot chiles if you prefer an extra kick.

4. Heavy cream: This creamy ingredient helps create the luscious sauce that coats the chicken and brings all the flavors together.

5. Cheeses: For the ultimate cheesy goodness, you’ll need cream cheese, pepper jack cheese, and white American cheese. These cheeses melt beautifully and add richness to the dish.

6. Olive oil: Use olive oil (or your preferred cooking oil) for searing the chicken. Alternatively, you can use butter, ghee, or coconut oil for added flavor.

With these simple ingredients, you’ll have a mouthwatering keto-friendly meal that’s sure to please even the pickiest eaters. Whether you’re cooking for your family or entertaining guests, this One-Pan Keto Pollo con Queso is a winner!
