Mexican Chicken

I don't know about you, but in my house I am always looking for new ways to cook chicken. This recipe came about when I had leftover chicken thighs and left over taco seasoning. So, I just got creative and threw this recipe together one night. Isn't funny how recipes like that end up becoming one of your favorite go to recipes? This one has become one of ours. Disclaimer, if you don't like super spicy food, leave out the jalapeno and hold back on the taco seasoning. This dish can be as mild or spicy as one prefers it to be. We tend to like ours a little on the spicy side, my husband even added extra Texas Pete hot sauce to his. Hope you enjoy this dish as much as we do.
