In a small bowl, mix together cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
Heat a 12-inch skillet over medium heat and spray with nonstick spray or use up to 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Season the chicken breasts evenly on both sides with the prepared spice mixture.
Sear the chicken in the skillet for about 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown, then remove from the skillet and set aside.
Reduce the heat to low and add the drained Rotel, heavy cream, chicken broth, and cream cheese to the skillet. Stir until the cream cheese is fully melted.
Stir in half of the shredded cheddar cheese, ensuring the sauce is smooth and well combined.
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet and sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese over the top. Cover with a lid and simmer over low heat for 6-8 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is melted.
