My entire family LOVES spicy food! It doesn’t matter what the dish is, we always add something to give it a little kick to it. During the cooler holiday seasons I tend to make a lot of casseroles, they’re easy to make and there are so many ways to add that spicy touch that my family loves so much. Our latest favorite dish is my jalapeño & chicken zucchini casserole, I always make it more often when Thanksgiving comes around. It’s a dish that can easily be made vegetarian by skipping the chicken and adding some sweet corn and peppers.
Casseroles are not only great to make at home, but they’re also perfect to bring along to get-togethers! Fresh biscuits and a huge salad are our typical favorite sides but you can also have the jalapeño & chicken zucchini casserole with mashed potatoes. The possibilities are endless! I alway stock up on different ingredients to switch things up.
Jalapeño & Chicken Zucchini Casserole
Ingredients: **Serves 4
4 zucchinis
1 1/2 cups of Cherry tomatoes
1 lb of Swiss Cheese
2 Jalapeños
1 pound of chicken breast
Blacken seasoning
1 cup of italian seasoned bread crumbs
Instructions:
Chicken
Coat both sides of chicken breast with blacken seasoning.
Light coat pan with oil.
Fry about 5-10 minutes on each side.
Dice and set aside.
Casserole
Dice the 4 zucchinis, cut cherry tomatoes in half, place in dish and toss in chicken.
Top with cheese **I used three slices but it taste just as good with more cheese!
Bake in oven for 15 minutes or until cheese is melted. **Leave an additional 10 minutes if you want the zucchini softer. Remove from oven and top with bread crumbs, jalapeño and more cheese.
Bake for another 15 minutes or until brown on top.
Serve alone, with rice or even some mashed potatoes!

I am such a big baby with anything spicy. I know my husband would love to have this though! It looks so good, I can always make one side with the jalapenos and one without for me.
Ok, I had to giggle a little because as soon as I saw the first image of the casserole with all the peppers, I was like…uh that’s too hot. Then I saw the Nexium image and I would so need that 🙂 if I ate this dish.
This sounds like a nice spicy dish. My hubby love jalapenos, so I know this would make him happy. Perfect for a weeknight dinner.
Wow, this looks incredible! Thanks for sharing such a creative recipe that will be shared on my dinner table this holiday season! #client
I love spicy foods and this dish looks delicious. I’ll have to try this for dinner!
I need to try Nexium myself then. I am heart burn sufferer also.. it’s the worse.. and I still want to eat everything haha
I think my husband and I would enjoy this recipe (pinned it already!). I love unique recipes that I can’t think of myself – this is one of them! Thanks.
What did you serve with this if anything? I’m so bad with sides .
I served it on its own but you can serve it with cauliflower rice or a simple side salad.
