Instructions

1
|
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Pound the chicken breasts to even thickness and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Sprinkle both sides of each chicken breast evenly with the taco seasoning.
2
|
Pour 1 cup of the salsa in the bottom of a baking dish or skillet that's large enough for the chicken. Place the chicken in the salsa, then pour the remaining salsa over the top of the chicken.
3
|
Bake for 30 minutes or until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the chicken registers 160 degrees. Remove from the oven and sprinkle the grated cheese over each chicken breast. Return the dish to the oven and bake for 2-3 minutes longer or until the cheese has melted. Remove from heat and let stand 5-10 minutes. Serve with lime wedges and garnish with freshly chopped cilantro, if desired, and enjoy!
