Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup salsa
  • 1 cup shredded Mexican blend cheese
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper

Method
 

  1. Heat oven to 400°F (200°C). Oil a baking dish, pat chicken dry, season with salt and pepper, and place in dish.
  2. Spoon salsa over each breast, then scatter cheese evenly over the top.
  3. Bake uncovered 20 to 25 minutes until chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) and cheese is bubbly and golden. Serve hot, spooning pan juices over the top.

Notes

If your chicken breasts are very thick, pound them to an even thickness so they cook through at the same rate as the cheese melts. You can assemble the dish, cover, and refrigerate it a few hours before baking; just add 5 minutes to the bake time.
