Made this for dinner this evening since it's the first day of school and my children both love chicken.  It was so easy to make, but looks like you spent hours preparing.  I'm a very happy mom, they loved it!  Thanks so much for sharing.

So easy and delicious  thank you so much!

Thank you so much for this recipe!  It was easy to prepare  quickly after work and it was delicious.  My husband and son even loved it and they are picky :)-

Wow  this recipe is  Great!!! So full of flavor

I was looking for a Mexican dish with chicken breast and happened upon this one. It did have 5 stars but that was with only 4 reviews. It looked good and also didn’t require a lot of ingredients or prep and cooking time. I followed the suggestion to serve it with black beans and Spanish rice. I wish I had taken a picture of it on the plates. It looked really good and even better it tasted amazing. I have a very picky husband who can be hard to please.  I asked him what he thought and he said “ I give it 5 stars and you need to go out and give her 5 stars on her site”. So yes, this one is definitely 5 stars and will be a bi-weekly meal for us from now on.  I loved it and it’s so easy to make!!

Amazing. Said I would give this a try tonight as I had made my own salsa. It was amazing. Will absolutely be trying this again. Thank you for recipe

I was surprised by how well this recipe turned out, since it's so easy. I used a meat thermometer and pulled the chicken out when it reached 165 degrees, and it was SO moist with great flavor. I'll definitely make this again, thank you Amy!

Easy, Excellent and impressive  when it is put on the table.  I will definitely make it a favorite!

This recipe was delicious!  I did add one can of black beans, one chopped jalapeño and fresh corn to the bottom of the casserole dish and topped it as per the recipe.  It was AMAZING!  I served it with a simple salad dressed with fresh lime juice, EVOO, a dash of cumin and chipotle Chile powder for a super health dinner!  Absolutely loved by ALL my family!  Thank you for sharing this!!!

BAKED SALSA CHICKEN is an easy weeknight dinner that my family requests often. It's so simple to throw together but there is so much flavor thanks to the salsa and cheese.

Baked Salsa Chicken is full of flavour and, with just 5ingredients, it’s so easy to make. Tender, seasoned and baked chicken breast with salsa and cheese, this easy meal will become a regular in your dinner rotation.

Baked Salsa Chicken (5 Ingredients, One pan)

chicken breasts

taco seasoning ((notes 1))

vegetable oil ((notes 1))

chunky tomato salsa ((375 milliliters))

Preheat the oven to 200C (180C fan forced) / 400F.

If using large chicken breasts, cut them into chicken cutlets first. Lay it flat on a chopping board, with your hand on top, use a sharp knife to cut through the thickness (or parallel to the chopping board) to create two thinner chicken breasts.

Place the chicken on a chopping board and lay a piece of plastic wrap over the top. Use a meat mallet or heavy saucepan to gently bash out the thicker parts so each is a similar thickness all over.

Sprinkle half the taco seasoning over 1 side of the chicken, flip and repeat, then rub in well all over.

In a large, oven-safe frying pan or skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat.

Add the chicken and cook for 2-3 minutes until browned (don't force them to release from the pan if they're stuck. They will release when they are golden). Flip and repeat on the other side then remove from heat.

Push the chicken to one side and add roughly half a cup of salsa across the base of the pan. Place the chicken back on top, then pour the remaining salsa evenly over the top. If your pan or skillet is not oven-safe, just layer it up the same way in a casserole dish.

Sprinkle the cheese over the top of the chicken and place in the oven. Bake for around 18-20 minutes until the chicken is cooked through (about 74C /165F when sticking a meat thermometer into the thickest part).

Please take a moment to rate this recipe. I really appreciate it and it helps me create more recipes.
