Add a spicy kick to dinner with this tasty jalapeno popper chicken casserole! Chicken, jalapenos, and pasta smothered in a rich, creamy cheese sauce and topped with crispy breadcrumbs – yum!
In case your family is like my daughter and not big fans of spicy things, let me assure you that this dish can easily be toned down and I’ve included substitution ideas in the recipe for this.
If your family is split 50/50 with spicy versus non-spicy, try this:
Bake jalapeno chicken popper casserole in a pan with a lid. I have these pyrex dishes that come with lids, so I can just put a lid on it if we have leftovers, which we reheat in the oven. Leaving it in the original pan means keeping the panko breadcrumb topping in place when you reheat it so you still get that crunch the next day.
