This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Crystal Farms Cheese. All opinions are 100% mine.
It’s no secret that I love cheese. Especially pepper jack. I like to keep a block of pepper jack cheese in the fridge for myself. It’s a favorite mid-day snack.
So when I was challenged to come up with a slow cooker recipe using Crystal Farms® cheeses, I knew I needed to come up with a recipe using pepper jack.
I love a good challenge…especially when I get to eat my results.

Ready to see how I made this delicious chicken in the crock pot?
Slow Cooker Pepper Jack Chicken
Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons each: seasoned salt, minced garlic, oregano leaves, cumin, chili powder
- 1 cup red onion, sliced
- 6 mini peppers, sliced
- 3 tablespoons Italian dressing
- 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 7 ounces Crystal Farms® pepper jack cheese
- 12 ounces bow tie pasta, cooked (optional)
Instructions
- Mix seasonings in a small bowl. Dip both sides of chicken in seasoning mix and place in slow cooker.
- Chop onion and pepper; add to the slow cooker on top of chicken. Sprinkle Italian dressing over all.
- Cover and cook on low for 4-6 hours.
- Before serving, lift lid and scoop out excess juices from the slow cooker and reserve. Grate cheese; sprinkle over chicken. Replace lid and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until chicken is melted.
- I served my chicken with bow tie pasta and tossed the excess juices with the cooked pasta and added a little bit of Parmesan to taste. It's also great with rice!
It’s so easy to make this delicious, flavorful chicken! Just cover chicken with seasonings and place in crock pot.
Then place onions and peppers on top and cook on low for 4-6 hours.
Once the chicken is done, add Crystal Farms pepper jack cheese and melt.
The next day, I shredded the leftover chicken and made the most amazing chicken enchiladas (recipe coming soon!). I loved having two meals with some of my favorite flavors…with very little work (aren’t crock pots great for that?).

Hi! This is going on my menu plan! I have a question. In the ingredients, it lists Italian dressing, but in the instructions, it says Italian seasoning. Just wondering which one is correct. Thanks! Can’t wait to try it. =)

Thanks for catching that! It’s Italian dressing. I think it was so natural to say/type Italian seasoning that I didn’t even notice my mistake! All fixed in the recipe now.
