A flavorful and easy-to-make chicken dish with a Mexican twist, perfect for a quick dinner.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Ensure your oven is fully preheated for even cooking.
Lightly grease a baking dish with non-stick spray.
Use a dish that fits the chicken in a single layer for best results.
Arrange the chicken breasts in a single layer in the prepared dish.
Pat the chicken dry with a paper towel before placing it in the dish to remove excess moisture.
In a mixing bowl, combine the salsa and yogurt until well blended.
Taste the mixture and adjust the seasoning if needed.
Spread the salsa-yogurt mixture evenly over the chicken.
Ensure all chicken pieces are well coated for maximum flavor.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
Use freshly grated cheese for better melting and flavor.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 40 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and the cheese is bubbly and golden.
Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Serve the chicken hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
Pair with a side of rice or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
