Tips and Tricks
Preparing the Chicken
Ensure the chicken breasts are of even thickness to ensure they cook evenly. If needed, you can pound them slightly to achieve uniform thickness.
Adding Salsa
Pour the salsa evenly over the chicken breasts to ensure each piece is well-coated. This helps to infuse the chicken with the salsa’s flavors as it bakes.
Green Onions and Cheese
Sprinkle the sliced green onions and grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the salsa-coated chicken. This will add a nice flavor and texture to the dish.
Baking
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven at 350°F for 30 minutes. Covering the dish helps to keep the chicken moist.
Finishing the Cooking
After 30 minutes, uncover the baking dish and continue to bake for an additional 10 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165°F to ensure it is safe to eat.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the baked salsa chicken with a side of steamed rice or quinoa and a fresh green salad. It also pairs well with roasted vegetables or a side of black beans.
Storing Leftovers
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat gently in the microwave or oven until warmed through.
Customizing the Recipe
Feel free to customize the recipe by adding other ingredients such as sliced bell peppers, black olives, or corn to the baking dish for additional flavor and texture. You can also use different types of cheese, such as mozzarella or cheddar, for a different flavor profile.
Adding Fresh Herbs
For an extra burst of freshness, garnish the dish with freshly chopped cilantro or parsley just before serving.
