Pepper Jack cheese adds extra warmth to this golden brown chicken topped with tender veggies and bacon. It cooks in no time, and you can vary the flavor by substituting different cheeses. Dawn Jones - Cedar Vale, Kansas

Whenever I have pepper jack, chicken, and bacon, the boyfriend requests this ever since the first time I made it 3 years ago. It is referred to only as "the chicken dish" but everyone knows what we're talking about! Absolutely delicious! I sometimes add some chicken/turkey stock so that there is some gravy and eat it over mashed potatoes.
