HEALTH & BENEFITS

This dish provides a good source of protein from the chicken and cheese which is important for building and repairing muscles. The jalapenos in this recipe contain capsaicin which has been linked to boosting metabolism and aiding in weight loss. However, this recipe also contains a lot of sodium from the canned ingredients which should be consumed in moderation for those with high blood pressure.
