CHICKEN BREASTS WITH JALAPEÑO CHEESE SAUCE

Skillet seared chicken breasts are covered in a jalapeño cheddar sauce for an easy, flavorful dinner that’s great for a weeknight or for company! 

I took bags full of jalapeños to my kids’ preschool teachers and even passed some out to our veterinarian and mail carrier.

I also made my 10-minute jalapeño cream cheese dip to eat as an appetizer with some chips. Cause melty cheese and a spicy kick is a sure-fire hit!

I also love keeping some of my easy fresh jalapeño relish on hand for tacos, rice bowls, even eggs!

And here, I’ve added some chicken to make a quick and easy main course chicken jalapeño dish that’s got just a hint of spice and loads of creamy, cheesy sauce to coat every slice of perfectly cooked chicken.
