Tips
- Remove jalapeño seeds for milder heat or leave some in for more kick.
- Searing the chicken first is great for flavor.
- The recipe can be cooked in a crockpot or on a skillet.
- Start checking doneness around 25 minutes due to varying chicken sizes.
- If the sauce looks thin after baking, stir in the cheese and let it sit; it will thicken considerably.
- Serve over baked potatoes and top with extra bacon.
