Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

1 teaspoon butter, or as needed
4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut into chunks
1 teaspoon taco seasoning mix, or to taste
1 (8 ounce) jar salsa
½ cup sour cream
4 ounces jalapeno peppers, diced
4 ounces shredded Cheddar cheese
4 green onions, sliced

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Butter a baking pan.
Heat a pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken and saute until no longer pink in the center and juices run clear, 6 to 8 minutes. Drain excess liquid. Add taco seasoning; toss to coat. Transfer chicken into the prepared baking pan.
Mix salsa, sour cream, and jalapenos together in a bowl and pour over the chicken.
Bake in the preheated oven until hot, about 25 minutes. Remove from oven and cover with Cheddar cheese. Continue baking until cheese melts, about 5 minutes more.
Let casserole cool before cutting into pieces and garnishing with green onions.
