  1. In large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium heat. Saute onion and jalapenos until browned and tender, 6 minutes or so. Set aside.

Pour in sauteed onion and jalapeno and slide in chicken. Coat each piece in cheese sauce and serve over rice. Top with cilantro, avocado, lime wedges or anything else you'd like.
