4 Ingredient Salsa Chicken
Description
The chicken breasts are coated with taco seasoning and topped with salsa before baking until fully cooked. Finishing under the broiler melts the cheese to a bubbly, slightly browned topping. The method delivers tender chicken with savory, zesty flavors from the seasoning and salsa without complicated preparation.
This recipe is flexible with salsa heat levels to adjust spiciness and can be served on its own or shredded for use in various dishes like tacos or salads.
Leftovers shred well and make a convenient protein addition for quick meals. Cooking to an internal temperature of 165°F ensures safe doneness.
Ingredients
- 4 chicken breast 5-6 ounces each, boneless skinless
- 2 tablespoons taco seasoning
- 2 cups salsa any kind
- 1 cup cheddar cheese or Monterey jack, shredded
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- Toss chicken breasts with taco seasoning.
- Top each chicken breast with salsa.
- Bake 25-30 minutes or until chicken reaches 165°F.
- Top with cheese and broil 1-2 minutes.
- Optional: Add your favorite taco toppings as desired.
Notes
- Adjust spiciness by choosing mild, medium, or hot salsa according to taste preferences.
- Leftover chicken can be shredded and used in tacos, burritos, or salads for versatile meal options.
