• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Garlic powder - 1 teaspoon

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).
2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced chicken breast and cook until no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes.

6. Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheddar cheese on top of the cream cheese layer.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
8. Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.
