5. Add Garlic and Jalapenos: Stir in the minced garlic and sliced jalapenos. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.

8. Return Chicken: Add the cooked chicken back into the skillet. Let everything simmer for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
9. Add Cheese: Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top, covering the skillet. Allow it to melt for 2-3 minutes.
10. Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat, garnish with fresh cilantro, and serve.
