Fiesta Smothered Chicken
Topped with ooey-gooey shredded cheese, this tender skillet chicken looks great and tastes even better. You'll get a kick out of its jalapeno zip. —Teresa Jones, Ashdown, Arkansas

Family proclaimed a keeper! Very flavorful. My chicken breasts were a bit thick so cook time was a bit longer.
I have a family of 5 so I doubled this recipe. Normally we don't like breast meat at all to dry when cooked. But this was nice and moist. I will try it with dark meat and write a review when I do. Since I doubled the recipe I marinated longer than the recipe called for.
I prepared this dish tonight and let me tell you that this is a winner. Both my husband and myself loved every bite. The only thing I did differently was used canned mushrooms instead of fresh. We will be having this again and again. I highly recommend this recipe.Volunteer Field Editor
This recipe has made it into our regular rotation. I make it with 8 chicken breasts, and only 2 tsp of jalapenos. I use canned mushrooms because I usually have those on hand. I also saute bell pepper with the mushrooms and onions. I use monterey jack in place of the pepper jack because it melts so smoothly and there are already jalapenos in the recipe. The leftovers (if there are any) are delicious in chicken tacos or quesadillas.
My husband & I absolutely loved it! This has become one of my new favorites. We like alot of veggies so I added more of each of them & we let the chicken soak about an hour before cooking. TOTALLY DELISH!!
I haven't tried this recipe yet but I am going to. I also would not like the jalapeno's but I will substitue green bell pepper and use all cheddar cheese.
It was a little too much on the spicy side for my family, but everyone agreed it was a good dish. I personally liked it a lot. I would definitely make it again.
My husband didn't like the jalapeno's. I will not leave them out, just use less of them. Loved it.
Fiesta smothered chicken is a very good recipe. The only thing I'd change would be the jalapenos, as some of my family is allergic to them. I do like them though, just won't put them in this recipe as I won't make my family sick.
