Jalapeno Chicken

Jalapeno chicken is a flavorful, spicy dish that combines tender chicken with the zesty heat of jalapeños. The chicken(boneless and skinless) is seasoned with a mix of spices, which complement the heat of the jalapeños. The peppers themselves can be sliced and sautéed with the chicken, or chopped and added to a sauce, giving it a fresh, fiery kick.
