Green Chili Chicken

Keto Green Chili Chicken is a recipe I turn to over and over. Smoky chicken covered in a green chili cream cheese sauce and topped with cheese is simple to make and a crowd-pleasing dish that everyone loves. This is even more delicious served over Cabbage Rice or Cilantro Lime Cauliflower Rice.
