One of the easiest meals to prepare in the oven is salsa chicken. Salsa chicken consists of chicken breasts sprinkled with taco seasoning, topped with salsa and then baked in the oven. When the chicken has finished cooking it is then topped with Colby-jack cheese. If you do not want to use Colby-jack, a Mexican cheese blend would be great as well. You can use whatever type of salsa you want. The best part about this recipe is it is only 4 ingredients—chicken, taco seasoning, salsa, and cheese! After the chicken has finished cooking you can top it with whatever you like; some good options are sour cream, green onion, lettuce, tomato, and black olives. If you do not have much time and are looking for an easy dinner to prepare, this dish is perfect for you. I served this recipe with Spanish rice. Enjoy.
