- Ready In:
- 55mins
- Ingredients:
- 4
- Serves:
-
2-4
ingredients
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- olive oil, enough to brown the chicken in
- salsa, I use Pace, but whatever your favorite is will work
- shredded cheddar cheese, for topping (Monterey Jack works well too, so would Pepper Jack)
directions
- Flatten Chicken Breasts so they are of equal thickness for even cooking.
- In stir-fry skillet or any deep frying pan (with lid), heat your Olive Oil.
- Add the Chicken Breasts and brown on both sides until no longer pink inside.
- Pour over salsa to your liking. I use about a half a 16 oz. jar. I also add a little water to tone down the heat, (hubby can't handle spice).
- Cover and simmer chicken in salsa for about half-hour to 45 minutes.
- Top with cheese to serve.

I also make a version of this, using Pace! The only thing I do differently is roast an ear of corn and some zucchini under the broiler, rough chop the zucchini,cut the kernels off and add both near the end of the cooking time. The roasted corn adds a bit of sweetness and color. I serve with white or brown rice and cilantro, and of course grated cheddar! Delish and healthy!

I make this in the oven. I flatten the chicken, place it on a rimmed baking sheet pan lined with nonstick foil. Cover with salsa (any kind - I use a fresh prepared mild) and bake at 375f. for about 20 minutes or until the internal temp. is 165f. Then I top with shredded cheese, etc. Bake until cheese is melted, about 5 minutes, and serve!.
