A flavorful and easy-to-make chicken dish baked with salsa and cheese, perfect for a quick dinner.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Ensure the oven is fully preheated for even cooking.
Lightly coat a baking dish with cooking spray.
Using cooking spray prevents sticking and makes cleanup easier.
Place the chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish and season them evenly with salt.
Season both sides of the chicken for balanced flavor.
Pour the salsa over the chicken, spreading it evenly.
Use a spoon to ensure the salsa covers the chicken completely.
Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the salsa-covered chicken.
Distribute the cheese evenly for a consistent melt.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
Check the chicken's doneness with a meat thermometer; it should read 165°F (74°C).
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes to melt and slightly brown the cheese.
This step adds a nice golden finish to the cheese.
Serve the chicken hot, garnished with fresh cilantro or green onions if desired.
Serve with your favorite sides for a complete meal.
