"Topped with bacon, caramelized onions and zippy shredded cheese, it comes together in no time with ingredients I usually have on hand. Plus, it cooks in one skillet, so it’s a cinch to clean up!"

Ok, brand new to the whole cooking world but this recipe was very simple! My husband LOVED it and almost all the ingredients are things I had @ home already. I added a lot of garlic to the chicken and used sharp cheddar instead of colby-monterey jack, I'm sure it's great both ways but I live and breath garlic so had to get it in there. ;) Thanks for the great recipe!!
