This recipe combines my daughter's love of chiles rellenos and my love of chicken Alfredo! To cut down on the spice level you could substitute Monterey Jack cheese for the pepper jack. —Jennifer Stowell, Smithville, Missouri

The was very good quick and easy! Didn’t have pepper jack cheese so used sharp cheddar. Also didn’t have the lime zest. We are doing low carb so served over broccoli. Will definitely make again!

This dish is amazing! I left out the lime, because I didn't have one but it was delicious without it.
