Makes 2 servings
1 lb raw chicken, cut into small pieces
1 tsp ground cumin
½ tsp salt
½ tsp ground black pepper, or your preferred spice mix
2 Tbsp butter
2 tsp garlic, minced
2 Tbsp lemon juice
2 Tbsp cream cheese
3 cups chopped spinach, kale, orach, or whatever greens you like
Pour a small amount of oil into a skillet and place it over high heat.
Combine chicken pieces, cumin, salt, and pepper in a zipped plastic bag and mush them all around to coat the seasoning onto the chicken pieces. Dump them into the hot skillet and turn heat to medium, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is seared and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the pan.
If you are using frozen greens, microwave them for a minute or two, so they are thawed when you cook them.
Melt the butter in the pan. Add garlic and let it sizzle for 30 seconds, then add the lemon juice and cream cheese. Stir it all until the cream cheese and butter are totally melted and the chicken drippings are mixed in. Add the greens to the pan and stir until they are wilted and coated with the sauce.

Saute onion with a small amount of olive oil, in a covered skillet over medium heat. Assemble the other ingredients in a food processor. When the onion is limp and translucent, add it to the food processor. Puree everything until it is as smooth as possible. Add a bit more lemon juice if necessary to make it smooth.

Chicken pieces (boneless and skinless is easiest)
salsa
shredded cheese (such as cheddar, mozzarella, colby jack, pepper jack, monterey jack)
oil or butter
spices (Mexican style, such as cayenne, cumin, cilantro)
Preheat oven to 350° F.
Warm the oil/butter in a frying pan over medium heat. Add in the chicken pieces. Sprinkle the tops of the chicken with spices. Let brown on the bottom side until the chicken seems cooked about halfway through.
Transfer chicken and all drippings from the pan into a baking pan. Cover the chicken with salsa, then cover with shredded cheese. Bake for 20 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through. (Check with a thermometer for larger pieces. Chicken needs to be cooked to an internal temperature of 165° F.)
Serve with sides like beans, rice, corn, guacamole, sour cream, whatever you want.
