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

Was really simple and really tasty. (I skipped the mushrooms on my portion) but my bf really loved it

Even my picky son-in-law ate this one.

A nice idea, but to salty. I have had a similar recipe where the chicken was seasoned with lemon-pepper rather than seasoning salt, but had no mushrooms. I liked the mushrooms so I think in future I'll combine the two.

Wow!! Yum, yum, yum. Not the most figure friendly recipe but as an occasional indulgence this is to die for! I like switching it up between pepper jack and swiss cheese and they both are equally good. Other than that I stick to the recipe and its incredible. Thanks for sharing!

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.
