Ingredients
Method
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Rub the chicken breasts with olive oil and coat each evenly with taco seasoning.
- Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and sear for 2-3 minutes on each side until lightly browned.
- Remove the skillet from heat and pour the salsa over the chicken, spreading it evenly.
- Sprinkle the shredded Mexican cheese blend over the salsa-covered chicken.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- Remove the skillet from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.
- Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve with lime wedges if desired.
Notes
For a spicier dish, use hot salsa and add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the taco seasoning.
