Pico De Gallo Chicken image

This is my version of a chicken dish that I order at a local Mexican restaurant. The Restaurant grills the chicken, but it comes out more moist if it's baked. Serve it with Spanish rice and beans - it's good!

Time 55m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
6 ounces pico de gallo (I buy it already made in the produce section)
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 limes
1/2 teaspoon cumin
salt
pepper
4 -8 slices monterey jack cheese (I prefer 2 slices per chicken breast)

Steps:

  • Put the chicken breasts in a baking dish.
  • Rub the chicken with the olive oil, add three quarters of the pico de gallo and the juice from 2 limes.
  • Evenly sprinkle the cumin, salt and pepper over the chicken.
  • Bake at 350 degrees 35-40 minutes or until done.
  • Remove the chicken from the oven (you might want to drain it a little) and place 1 or 2 slices of Monterey Jack Cheese over each chicken breast.
  • Put the chicken back in the oven for 3-4 minutes to melt the cheese.
  • When the chicken is done, garnish with the remaining pico de gallo and serve!
