You can use thighs or breasts and leave them whole or cut them into pieces. Regardless of the cut, be sure to temp the thickest piece with a thermometer to make sure the chicken reaches 365 degrees Fahrenheit.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Spice it up!<\/strong> I used mild green chilies, but you can use whichever heat you prefer! You may even add a pinch (or more!) of ground cayenne pepper to the cream cheese mixture to add some extra heat.\u00a0<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cheese Varieties:<\/strong> I prefer Colby Jack cheese with this recipe but you may use an alternative cheese, if you\u2019d like. Try cheddar, Monterey Jack, or even mozzarella!\u00a0<\/li>\n<li><strong>Add some fun toppings!<\/strong> Add diced tomatoes, jalapenos, sliced avocado, fresh cilantro, or squeeze a lime over the top.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- .block-quick-tips__inner --><\/div>\n<p> <!-- .block-quick-tips --><\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1799\" alt=\"Serving a piece of chicken.\" class=\"wp-image-248335\" title=\"Green Chile Chicken is bound to become your family's new favorite dinner!
