Pepperjack Chicken

Who’d believe this easy-to-make chicken and pepperjack cheese casserole would be a flavor sensation?

This casserole is too delicious for words! I’m constantly discovering and am amazed at the wonderful flavors you can get from such simple things and few ingredients.

Delicious over rice

I came across this recipe on Pinterest on one of those step-by-step pins. Originally, it was made with Swiss cheese, but the recipe also recommended pepperjack–which I had on hand.

Easy to make, easier to eat!

The recipe comes from Prepared Housewives and according to Jamie, the casserole can be frozen for later use, but don’t freeze it with the poultry stuffing on top or else it’ll get soggy. Put that on when it’s time to bake it.

Topping makes it very special

Since I love cheese, I doubled the amount, but you don’t have to. I also used up a few remaining mushrooms I had in the fridge, but if you don’t like mushrooms nor have them, leave them out. That’s an addition I made and the casserole will be totally good without them.

This goes great with rice or pasta. I served it with jasmine rice and it was a real hit.

    Do we prepare the stuffing mix and then put it on? I’m sorry, i’m having a blonde moment, lol.

      I have many of those moments myself LOL…but the recipe really wasn’t clear about that so I edited it. You use the stuffing mix dry–don’t make it up like it says on the package. It’s really just a crumb topping here. Mix it with the melted butter and you’re good to go!
