I love how versatile jalapeno peppers are! Did you know that the seeds in jalapenos are actually what make them spicy? That’s right, you can keep them hot by leaving the seeds in or have them not spicy at all by taking the seeds out. In this recipe, I took the seeds out but feel free to leave them in if you like a little kick!

This chicken skillet meal is filled with crunchy vegetables with a creamy sauce! It’s sure to give you leftovers, perfect for lunch the next day or dinner later in the week.
