Our 10 year old loves spice and the 4 year old is beginning to enjoy it, as well. The secret is to get the sauce to the right consistency before adding it to the chicken.
For my guys, the nacho chips "MAKE" the dish!
If your family doesn't like spicy food, omit the jalapeno peppers and just call it Chicken with Cheese Sauce.
