6 tb Butter; divided
6 cl Garlic; minced
1/4 c All-purpose flour
1 1/2 ts Salt

1 c Half & half cream
8 oz Colby Jack cheese; shredded
1/2 c Pickled jalapeno slices

Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain; set aside.

melted. Stir in cooked chicken, jalapenos, and jalapeno juice. Add
pasta; toss to thoroughly coat.
Heat a small skillet over medium-low heat. Add bread crumbs; toast
until lightly browned, 2 to 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
