Low Carb Chronicles: Salsa Chicken



I like salsa. I try to put it on just about everything I can. My favorite thing to put salsa on is hash browns and the spicier the salsa, the better I like it.

This is a very simple recipe that came out surprisingly well. Jared was a bit skeptical when I mentioned it to him earlier, but I let time pass before cooking it, and he liked it just fine.

This recipe is perfect when you do not have a lot of ingredients in your fridge, and we usually have everything on hand to make this. Side note: if you do not have a recipe in mind for a meal and are just trying to figure out what to make for dinner, I highly recommend this site. I just search "in my fridge," and this is the first one that is listed. You put in what you have on hand, and it gives you recipes for what you can make with what you have - game changer. I have been a big fan for years.

Okay, back to the salsa chicken - you can also make this your own with additional toppings (sour cream, chives, green onions, guacamole).

Salsa Chicken for Two
2 chicken breasts
2 tbsp. taco seasoning - I like to make my own. (See previous post about that recipe.)
1/2 cup salsa
1/2 cup Mexican shredded cheese

Put chicken in a lined baking pan. Sprinkle seasoning on top of the chicken and then pour salsa on top of that. Bake at 350 degrees 25-30 minutes or until done. Top with cheese after chicken is cooked and then add additional toppings if desired. Enjoy!

This is another easy recipe that tastes great. I always appreciate a recipe that does not require a ton of ingredients and a trip to the grocery store!
