Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, until sauce mixture is reduced by half, stirring constantly. Stir in chicken.
Remove from the heat. Whisk in cream cheese until melted. Stir in 3/4 cup each monterey jack and cheddar. Top with remaining monterey jack and cheddar.
Broil 3-4 inches from the heat for 1-2 minutes or until cheeses are melted. Garnish with sour cream and green onions. Serve with tortilla chips.

Want warm chips? Cut flour tortillas into wedges and place in a single layer on ungreased baking sheets. Bake at 400°F for 6-8 minutes or until light golden brown.

Cheesemonger Tip

Do you have questions when shopping for cheese? Ask the cheesemonger! A cheesemonger specializes in the buying and selling of high-quality cheese, usually available in the specialty section of a grocery store or cheese shop. Knowledgeable and passionate, a cheesemonger is a go-to resource for cheese varieties and pairings, proper cheese storage and handling, its cooking applications and cheese brand information.

Try a medium or sharp-aged Wisconsin cheddar cheese in this recipe. Cheddar that has been aged longer will have a bolder flavor.
