Ingredients

4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
4 teaspoons taco seasoning mix
1 cup salsa
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
2 tablespoons sour cream

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish. Get all your ingredients ready to go.
Place the chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish. Evenly sprinkle the taco seasoning mix on both sides of each chicken breast.
Generously pour your favorite salsa over the seasoned chicken.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-35 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked, tender, and the juices run clear when pierced with a fork.
Evenly sprinkle the shredded cheese over the baked chicken.
Return to the oven and bake for an additional 3-5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly browned.
Garnish with a dollop of sour cream and serve immediately.
