Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Season the chicken lightly with salt and pepper. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until cooked through and juices run clear.
  3. Sauté bell peppers and onions in a greased skillet over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, until they become tender. Add canned tomatoes and green chilies for about 2 minutes before transferring everything to a large bowl.
  4. Chop the cooked chicken into bite-sized pieces. Combine with the sautéed veggies in the bowl, mixing well to incorporate flavors.
  5. Blend together taco seasoning, cream cheese, half of the shredded cheese, and heavy cream in the mixture.
  6. Transfer the mixture to a casserole dish, spreading evenly. Top with the remaining shredded cheese, and bake for 30-35 minutes until bubbly and golden brown.
