I made this for my lunches this week and it is amazing.

Ingredients

◾1 tbsp olive oil
◾2 fresh jalapeños (chopped)
◾2 chipotle peppers (chopped)
◾1/2 medium white onion (chopped)

◾1 cup shredded pepper jack cheese

◾fresh cilantro to garnish

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.

2. On a large, oiled skillet, cook the chopped jalapeños, chipotle peppers and diced onion over medium-high heat. Sauté for 5 minutes or until the onion becomes translucent.

3. Add the heavy cream and cream cheese. Stir everything until cream cheese is melted.

4. Add the enchilada sauce and shredded chicken and mix well.

5. In a 13 x 9-inch baking dish lightly coated with nonstick cooking spray, spread the chicken mixture and then top everything with the shredded cheese. Add the fresh jalapeños slices on top.

8. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes or until the cheese has lightly browned.

9. Serve with fresh cilantro and enjoy!
