How to Make Pepper Jack Chicken in an Oven
Aunt Lou.
For a while now, Cris’ Crock Pot Pepper Jack Chicken recipe has been a huge favorite not only at our houses, but in the homes of you, our dear readers. When a recipe becomes a favorite, readers generally ask us about other means of cooking a recipe. So not only do we have a crock pot recipe for this recipe, we also have the Instant Pot Pepper Jack Chicken recipe and the Air Fryer Pepper Jack Chicken (Ninja Foodi) recipe. And now, da da da dum….we have the oven recipe too!
I am sure some of your are thinking, “Why the foil?” So, I’ll answer that right away. I wanted the peppers and mushrooms on top so the flavors could seep down into the chicken, but needed a way to keep some of the moisture in (like you have in a crock pot), so I added the foil to the top for the main part of the cooking. It worked well! I did put the green beans on bottom since they need a bit more cooking than the mushrooms and peppers. If you like your mushrooms and peppers softer and want to give putting them on bottom a try, let me know how it turns out!

I don’t like cooked green pepper at all. Do you think I could substitute red pepper in this recipe?
Absolutely! I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as we do!
Had this tonight and it was delicious! Used canned green beans instead of frozen. A++
