This recipe offers a delightful twist on a classic chicken dish, featuring vibrant tomatillo salsa and creamy melted cheese.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and the right texture for the chicken.
Line a baking tray with aluminum foil and place the chicken breasts on it.
Lining the tray makes cleanup easier and prevents sticking.
Sprinkle the chicken with garlic powder, ground cumin, salt, and pepper.
Adjust the seasoning to your taste preferences.
Top each chicken breast with slices of onion and pour the tomatillo salsa over them.
Ensure the salsa covers the chicken for maximum flavor.
Cover the tray with another sheet of aluminum foil, sealing the edges tightly.
Sealing the foil traps steam, keeping the chicken moist.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
Check the chicken's doneness by ensuring it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Remove the foil and place a slice of pepper jack cheese on each chicken breast.
The cheese will melt quickly, adding a creamy texture.
Return the tray to the oven and bake uncovered until the cheese melts.
Keep an eye on the cheese to prevent over-browning.
Warm the tortillas in a skillet or microwave.
Warming the tortillas makes them more pliable and enhances their flavor.
Serve each chicken breast with a dollop of sour cream, a sprinkle of cilantro, and warm tortillas on the side.
Garnish with extra cilantro for a fresh touch.
