Number Of Ingredients 12

¼ cup vegetable oil
½ red onion, chopped
1 jalapeño pepper, seeded and chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
salt and ground black pepper to taste
3 cups cooked, diced chicken breast meat
1 cup shredded Cheddar-Monterey Jack cheese blend

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
