Someone gave me this recipe a few years back and it's become a household favorite. You can use mild, medium or hot salsa depending on your taste. I usually serve it with Spanish rice and Mexican-style canned corn. Very easy and quick!

SERVES 4 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
4-5 teaspoons taco seasoning mix
1 cup salsa
1-1 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
2 tablespoons sour cream (optional)

Directions

1
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
2
Place chicken breasts in a lightly greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
3
Sprinkle taco seasoning on both sides of chicken breasts, and pour salsa over all.
4
Bake at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) for 25 to 35 minutes, or until chicken is tender and juicy and its juices run clear.
5
Sprinkle chicken evenly with cheese, and continue baking for an additional 3 to 5 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly.
6
Top with sour cream if desired, and serve.

This was wonderful tasting. I only used 1 big breast for the 2 of us and no sour cream. Love making chicken this way. Thanks for posting.

I just made this and taste tested it & its AMAZZZZING!!!! Anyone who gave less than 5 stars must've not followed the recipe correctly because this is the best chicken I have ever tasted. I used Mexican Shredded Cheese. Cant wait for my hubby to get home to eat some! He will be very pleased & happy that I finally learned how to cook. Will be making this again!!!!!

How easy was that? My butcher gets freakishly large chickens, so one breast-half was MORE than enough for the two of us. I sliced it against the grain, and fanned it over spanish rice. I did cook two, so the other one I will use in wraps or burritos tonight. Really moist, flavourful chicken, thanks!

I've made this recipe before from another site. Very yummy! A little too spicy for my family but I really liked it.
