    Mix salsa, sour cream, and jalapenos together in a bowl and pour over the chicken.

    Cook’s Note

    You can use rotisserie chicken to save cooking time.

    Monterey Jack cheese can be substituted for the Cheddar cheese. Feel free to use green chiles in place of jalapeños. Either green or red salsa will work in this recipe.
