Quick and easy, as promised, with a nice flavor! I used cheddar cheese (on hand) and added some chopped green onions with the cheese and chilies. Thanks for sharing! -
This is a great way to prepare chicken! It came out moist and full of flavor. It wasn't too spicy and the melted cheese on top just puts it over the top. Did not change a thing. -
Made recipe as stated except I used pepperjack cheese that was what I had on hand. DB loved it and said it had just the right amount of kick.This was a great chicken recipe and one I will make again and again. Thank you for such a tasty dish. -
