Ingredients
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 1/2 tablespoons taco seasoning
- 1 1/2 cups salsa
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 2 tablespoons green onions sliced
- cooking spray
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Coat a 2 quart baking dish with cooking spray.
- Spread 1/2 cup of salsa in an even layer in the bottom of the dish. Place the chicken breasts on top.
- Sprinkle the taco seasoning evenly over the chicken.
- Pour the remaining salsa over the chicken.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through.
- Remove the dish from the oven. Sprinkle the cheese over the chicken.
- Return the pan to the oven and bake for an additional 2-3 minutes or until cheese is melted.
- Top each chicken breast with a dollop of sour cream and sprinkling of green onions, then serve.
Notes
- You can make this recipe with boneless skinless chicken breasts or boneless skinless chicken thighs.
- Try to choose chicken pieces that are about the same size and thickness so that they cook evenly.
- Shred your own cheese instead of using pre-shredded cheese. Pre-shredded cheese tends to have anti-caking agents that prevent the cheese from melting well.
