Method

Preparation of Chicken

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken breasts and coat evenly. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Grill the Chicken

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the marinated chicken breasts for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove from the grill and set aside.

Preparation of Cheese Sauce

    Make the Roux

    In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes until golden, stirring continuously.

  2. 4

    Add Milk and Cheese

    Slowly whisk in the milk, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens. Then add the cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses, stirring until melted and smooth. If using, stir in the diced jalapeños.

Plating

    Assemble the Dish

    Top with shredded lettuce, a dollop of guacamole, a scoop of sour cream, and sprinkle diced tomatoes over the top for garnish. Serve immediately.
