I served this chicken with the brown rice casserole and it was a really good match. This is super easy and you can change it up by the type of salsa you use. I used medium heat and it was a bit spicy for me but Mr. Meat Eater would have liked me to use hot. I didn’t add the cheese to try and save a few calories and the rice casserole had a bunch of cheese in it anyway.
Salsa Chicken
4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
1 pkg taco seasoning
1 cup salsa
1 cup taco cheese (I didn’t use)
Sour cream (optional)
Preheat oven to 375º.
Place the taco seasoning on a plate and dip each side of each chicken breast in the mix and place the chicken in a greased baking pan. Pour the salsa over the the chicken.
Bake for 25-35 minutes or until chicken is cooked thoroughly and no pink remains.
Sprinkle with cheese if using and continue baking for 3-5 minutes or until cheese is melted.
Top with a dollop of sour cream and serve.
Makes 4 servings.
Happy Cooking!
I like my salsa to be hot too. And the brown rice is indeed a good match. Thanks for this yummy recipe.
This chicken recipe was LOVED by my taco fans. I served it with mexican rice and salad – it was a huge hit. I’ll definitely make again and it was super easy!
My aunt makes something similar to this (actually, it’s the ONLY thing she makes)…. It’s so good!
