Chicken in Salsa image

This is the first thing I'll make when our remodel is over and I have an oven again. So easy, so healthy, so inexpensive, and such a favorite with kids and adults alike. Pretty enough on the plate for a dinner party, but hearty enough to feed the guys on game day. You can substitute hot or mild salsa to suit your individual tastes.

Time 1h10m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 3

8 chicken pieces (I prefer thighs)
8 tablespoons medium hot salsa (Use a little more for breasts)
1/2 lb mozzarella cheese or 1/2 lb monterey jack cheese, shredded

Steps:

  • Remove the skin from the chicken pieces. If you leave it on it will NOT crisp but rather will become unpleasantly soggy -- even downright rubbery.
  • Arrange chicken pieces on a baking sheet.
  • Top each piece with a tbs of your favorite salsa. I prefer the Pace brand and usually use medium heat.
  • Bake at 350 about 45-60 minute or until chicken is tender.
  • Top each piece with shredded cheese.
  • Return to oven for about 5-10 minutes or until cheese is bubbly and browning.
  • I like to serve these with either white rice or cornbread and a green salad.
