Ingredients
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 cup salsa
- 1 tsp pepper
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 Cup cheddar cheese (shredded)
Instructions
- Filet your chicken breasts so they are thinner. I like to do this because your chicken ends up with more flavor and they cook faster.
- In skillet, drizzle some oil and heat over med/high heat.
- Place the chicken breasts in there and let them brown really well. About 3 minutes.
- Flip them and allow them to brown again. Another 3 minutes.
- Once they are brown, poor in the salsa and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat.
- Cook for 10 minutes until the salsa has reduced and the chicken is cooked through.
- Serve with shredded cheese on top.
Cup of Yum
Notes
- This recipe is extremely frugal. Our dinner to feed our family of six cost us less than $5!
