Ingredients

2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

1 cup assorted fresh fruit (strawberries, blueberries, diced kiwi, and mango)

1 cup cream cheese, softened

1/2 cup powdered sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 cup unsweetened coconut flakes

Fresh mint leaves for garnish

Optional: 1/2 cup granola for added crunch

Instructions

Cook the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken pieces and season with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook for about 6-8 minutes, or until the chicken is golden and cooked through.

Prepare the Cream Cheese Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Use a hand mixer or whisk until smooth and creamy.

Add the Fruit: Once the chicken is fully cooked, reduce the heat to low. Gently fold in the assorted fresh fruit, ensuring it's evenly distributed throughout the chicken without smashing the pieces.

Assemble the Skillet: Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the chicken and fruit in the skillet, creating a delicious layer on top. Allow it to warm for an additional 2-3 minutes on low heat.

Garnish and Serve: Once everything is well mixed and warmed through, sprinkle coconut flakes on top for a tropical touch. Add fresh mint leaves for garnish. If desired, sprinkle granola for a crunchy texture.

Enjoy: Serve your fruity fiesta chicken skillet warm, and enjoy the delightful blend of flavors!
