Red Hot Tex Mex Chicken Breast Casserole

Chicken breast recipes are "all the rage" these days because the low fat and hence low calorie count makes them better for your health than beef burgers and some of the other high fat foods. This recipe is not only healthy but can be made fairly easily and in not much time. Best of all it is delicious. If you like more heat in your casserole you could either add a little more Jalapeno, or go to a Habanera or some other hotter pepper.
