Jalapeno Cheddar Chicken

This recipe is your answer to a delicious and hassle-free meal. Tender chicken breasts or tenders get cloaked in a luxuriously creamy sauce bursting with melty cheddar cheese and a touch of heat from zesty jalapenos.

Simply toss all the ingredients (except a bit of cheese, butter, and flour) into your slow cooker and let it work its magic. With minimal prep required, this recipe is perfect for busy weeknights or when you want a comforting meal without hovering over the stove.

The creamy sauce gets a flavor boost from aromatics like onion and garlic, while spices like chili powder and oregano add depth. A touch of sweetness comes from corn, and fresh chopped cilantro brings a vibrant touch at the end.

For a thicker sauce, a simple roux made with butter and flour is added towards the end. This creates an irresistible velvety texture that perfectly complements the juicy chicken and sharp cheddar cheese.

Serve this crowd-pleasing Crockpot Jalapeno Cheddar Chicken with your favorite sides – rice, mashed potatoes, or a simple salad would all be perfect. Don’t forget to top it off with extra cheese and jalapenos for those who love a little more kick!
