Mexican Chicken with Cheese Sauce

Chicken:

Mix together chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, red pepper flakes, oregano, paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper.

Season both sides of the chicken breasts with the spice mixture.

Grill over medium to high heat until internal temperature reaches 165°F (about 6 to 8 minutes per side).

Set aside to rest.

Cheese Sauce:

Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat.

Whisk in flour and cook until it begins to bubble.

Gradually add milk, whisking constantly to prevent lumps.

Continue heating until the mixture is hot enough to melt the cheese (not boiling).

Gradually whisk in the shredded cheese until smooth.

Stir in paprika and cayenne pepper. Adjust salt to taste.

Serve the sauce hot over the grilled chicken.
