Baked chicken salsa


This is perhaps the easiest dinner you will ever make, seriously!!  It almost seems like a non-cooking night when you make this because it only takes 5 mins of your time to prepare. My tip would be to not cut the chicken too thick as it will take longer to cook so keep your breasts reasonably thin - approx 1cm.  It is only a light meal so serve with a side salad & crunchy bread.

You do however need taco seasoning that is only sold at ALDI sometimes.  You can buy it in the taco meal boxes which are sold all the time but they also sell it separately on occasion. 



BAKED SALSA CHICKEN

  • Spray oil
  • 2-3 large chicken breast fillets 
  • 2 Tbspn taco seasoning
  • 300g jar salsa
  • ½ cup sour cream to serve

Spray a deep ovenproof dish with oil (approx. 20cm x 30cm).

Slice the chicken breasts into half, lengthways to approx. 1cm thick. Place chicken into dish in a single layer.

Sprinkle over taco seasoning.

Pour salsa over the top.  Cover with foil & cook immediately or refrigerate until required. 

When ready to cook, preheat oven to 180oC.  Bake, covered, for 20 mins then uncover & cook for a further 10 mins or until chicken is cooked through.  Cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of the chicken. 

Serve with sour cream.
