Low Carb Mexi Baked Chicken
By: TheDancingCook

Another personal South Beach Diet friendly favorite of mine. It's flavorful and easy to throw together, bakes in less than 1 hour. I serve this with a side of my Mexican Jumping Beans. For the taco seasoning, I like to make my own (no sugar added; there are plenty of taco seasoning Zaar recipes to choose from, if you would like to make your own.
SERVES 2
Ingredients
- 2 (4 ounce) boneless skinless chicken breast
- 2 teaspoons taco seasoning (I prefer homemade with no sugar added)
- 1/2 cup salsa, any degree (I prefer Newman's Own; it's low in sugar)
- 1/2 cup shredded low-fat cheddar cheese (I prefer the Mexi-blend)
Directions
1
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.2
Spray a shallow, small baking dish with non-stick spray.3
Coat chicken lightly with taco seasoning, on both sides; spoon salsa over top of breast.4
Bake, uncovered, about 45 minutes.5
Sprinkle cheese on both breasts evenly; bake for another 5 minutes or until cheese is melted through.

Quick and easy - and tasted wonderful. I have teenage boys and they thought it was great -a different approach to chicken! I served with Mexican Jumpings Beans as the side dish, tortilla chips and salsa!

I had been craving for mexican for a week and thought this might curb the cravings! Boy did it! I used mild salsa, I flattened the chicken breasts sprinkled with taco seasoning and left in the fridge for an hour, I pan fried them until nearly cooked then popped the salsa and cheese on top and only did them for 7 minutes in the oven. I served it with sour cream on the side, steamed veggies and oven baked chips. Thsi will be a regular in our house.

We just started the SBD and both me and my boyfriend loved this one! I served it with a salad and Mexican Jumping Beans (Mexican Jumping Beans (south Beach Diet-phase 1 Friendly)). We will be having this again and again!
