A delightful one-pan dish combining tender chicken, zesty salsa, and cheesy goodness for a quick and satisfying meal.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Ensure the skillet is evenly coated with oil to prevent sticking.
Add the chicken breasts and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until lightly browned.
Avoid overcrowding the skillet to ensure even cooking.
Pour in the salsa and bring to a simmer.
Stir occasionally to prevent the salsa from sticking to the skillet.
Cut the tortillas into strips and stir them into the skillet along with half of the cheese.
Layer the tortillas evenly for a consistent texture.
Cover and cook for 8-10 minutes until the tortillas are soft and the chicken is cooked through.
Check the chicken's doneness with a meat thermometer (165°F).
Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top and let it melt.
Cover the skillet briefly to help the cheese melt faster.
Serve the dish topped with black olives, sour cream, and chopped tomato.
Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
