Instructions:

  • Step 1.

    Preheat oven to 425°F. Combine 12 ounce Hungry Planet Chicken™, 1 teaspoon chili powder, 1 teaspoon cumin, kosher salt, ¼ teaspoon black pepper, and ½ teaspoon garlic powder. Flatten on an oiled sheet pan and bake for 8 to 10 minutes. Remove, dice, and set aside. Reduce oven temperature to 350°F.

    Cover very tightly with foil and bake at 350°F for 20 minutes. Remove foil and return to oven. Bake until cheese is golden brown, about 10 to 15 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to rest for 15 minutes before serving.
