Salsa Chicken Posted by Dightonmom at Tasty Kitchen

I love this recipe because it couldn't be any easier unless the chicken breasts were already pounded flat.  It's just easy, easy, easy.  And, tasty. I wonder if pre-made salsa is any better than condensed cream or mushroom soup.  But, I don't wonder that for too long. Because this was good!

Ingredients:

• 4 pieces Boneless Chicken Breasts (pounded flat or at least to an even consistency)
  
• 1/2 to 1 envelope (about 1 Oz.) Taco Seasoning Mix
  
• 1 cup Salsa
• ¾ cups Shredded Mexican Cheese

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Place the chicken on a baking sheet and sprinkle both sides of the chicken with the taco seasoning mix. Place the salsa over the chicken and cook for 25-30 minutes until tender and juicy. Sprinkle cheese over the chicken and place back into the oven for another 3-5 minutes. Serve and enjoy!

Goes well with: avocado, cilantro, Spanish or Mexican rice, refried beans

Did they eat it? They did.  And, the youngest took it to school (his choice) in his lunchbox for the rest of the week.  The oldest didn't love it. The husband was pleasantly surprised. I liked it fresh, but didn't dig the leftovers, but I think that's more of a leftover thing than a chicken thing.
