Ingredients

cooking spray
4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
1 clove garlic, minced
1 pinch salt
1 pinch ground black pepper
1 pinch ground cumin
1 cup salsa
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese

Instructions

First, gather all of your ingredients. Then, preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Next, heat a greased skillet over medium heat. Rub the chicken with garlic, salt, pepper, and cumin to taste. Place the seasoned chicken in the hot skillet and cook for 10 to 15 minutes, until browned on both sides and fully cooked.
Transfer the cooked chicken to a 9x13-inch baking dish. Top evenly with salsa and cheese. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly browned.
