One thing that I cook often is chicken for my family. With that said I am always trying to come up with creative ways to make dishes with chicken that everyone will enjoy.
I love pepperjack cheese and I L-O-V-E cooking and baking with bacon. I decided to put these two together and make chicken in a bacon and cheese cream sauce that turned out delicious!
Creamy Pepperjack And Bacon Chicken
The combination of the flavor of Pepperjack cheese with the bacon in a creamy sauce was AMAZING. This is something I will definitely be making again real soon! You can also get creative and try other cheeses like Gouda, Parmesan or maybe some Asiago!
What I also like is that I only had to use one skillet to make this delicious dish! To make this dish feel free to print my Creamy Pepperjack And Bacon Chicken recipe below:
