Creamy Pepperjack Chicken

This dish is one of the most customizable I have ever known, so have fun and go crazy with it!

Ingredients

6 chicken breast halves, cubed

1/2 onion, sliced

2 cloves minced garlic

1/4 tsp black pepper

1/2 tsp red pepper flakes

2 family size cans condensed cream of mushroom soup (do not add water!)

10 slices pepperjack cheese

Make-Ahead Preparation

• In a large skillet, cook chicken. I prefer to cube it and add half an onion and minced garlic with black pepper and red pepper flakes. (These aren't in the original recipe.) I don't add salt because the soup has plenty. Drain liquid. Place in freezer bag or container.
• Add soup to freezer container; freeze.
• Place cheese slices in a freezer bag or container and freeze with other ingredients.

To Serve

• Thaw in refrigerator; or run cold water over bag to thaw. (If using this second method, add 10 minutes to your baking time in the next step.)
• Place chicken/soup mixture in a 9x13 baking dish. Bake at 350 for fifteen minutes.
• Top with cheese slices and bake for another fifteen. You will be halving the last two slices to cover the whole dish.

Serve as a hearty soup or spoon over rice or pasta. We like it over jasmine rice.
