Salsa Verde Chicken 4 Ingredients
- Chicken. I use skinless boneless chicken breasts
- Salsa Verde. This is a green salsa you can find in a jar in the salsa aisle.
- Cheese. We like Monterey Jack cheese for this.
How to Make Salsa Verde Chicken
Place chicken breasts in an 8×8 pan and cover them completely with the salsa verde.
Be sure the meat is totally covered so it stays moist while baking.
Bake at 350 degrees F. for 25-30 minutes.
After the chicken is baked through top it with some grated cheese and return to the oven for about five more minutes so that the cheese melts. Â
Garnish with cilantro if desired.
