This Skillet Jalapeno Popper Chicken Casserole is one of our families favorite comforting weeknight recipes. It’s creamy, cheesy and packed with flavor- yet simple enough for busy weeknights. It’s an easy skillet dinner that delivers all the jalapeno popper vibes in one family-friendly meal. Don’t worry if your kids don’t love heat; when you de-seed the peppers it is mild enough for everyone at the table. Want to spice it up? Add a few seeds from the jalapeno. The best part? It all comes together in one cast iron skillet, so clean up is quick and painless after the chaos of dinner.
