Easy Taco Salsa Chicken Breasts

This is so easy to make and really good, the recipe may be doubled if desired. If you are in a hurry you may omit browning the chicken first, but I think browning the chicken produces much more flavor, you can even brown the chicken hours in advance or in the morning, refrigerate and then bake later as directed --- don't forget to serve topped with cold sour cream, this is what really makes the chicken!
