I have tried this recipe many, many times with great success everytime. It is good enough to serve to guests and fast enough to have during the work week. I will usually serve it with cornbread and a salad. A helpful tip is to buy chicken tenders. It will save you from having to cut the breasts. (I hate handling raw meat) If you aren't into hot foods, be sure to adjust the jalapeno accordingly since this recipe does have some kick!
