Bake in the preheated oven until cheese has melted and is lightly browned, about 30 minutes. Remove from the oven, cover, and let sit for 30 minutes so it can set before cutting into squares.

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a packet of taco seasoning to the chicken mixture.
If you prefer a smoother texture, blend the cream cheese until it is completely smooth before adding it to the saucepan.
Adjust the amount of green chilies and diced tomatoes to your preferred level of spiciness.
Serve with your favorite toppings such as salsa, sour cream, guacamole, and extra cilantro.
