Creamy, rich cheese and slightly spicy pepper combine their culinary superpowers to top this succulent chicken breast with something special, flavorful, and unique. On the side, crispy, cumin-y fries that you'll eat up before they even get settled on your plate. So does that make it three culinary superpowers? That's almost too much power for one meal. Almost.
