When you\u2019re craving Tex-Mex but Monday energy is running on fumes, this Baked Salsa Chicken<\/strong> comes to the rescue. You\u2019ll nestle chicken breasts into a baking dish, blanket them with your favorite salsa and a shower of cheese, and let the oven do its thing. In 30 minutes you\u2019ve got fork-tender, saucy chicken ready for rice, tacos, or a low-carb lettuce wrap\u2014and only one dish to wash. Weeknight dinner doesn\u2019t get lazier (or tastier) than this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Salsa Chicken is one of my favorite Mexican-inspired meals for busy weeknight dinners that can be served as a complete meal or with a side of roasted vegetables<\/a> or a light green salad. Either way, it takes minimal effort and only 10 minutes of prep work. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chicken breasts are laid over a mixture of long-grain white rice, chicken broth, kidney beans, sweet corn, and chopped cilantro, baked, and then topped with salsa and cheese. The last few minutes of baking ensures a melted cheesy topping infused with salsa – delicious! <\/p>\n\n\n
