Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Season the chicken with a coating of taco seasoning and rub it into the chicken. Brown the chicken in a very hot skillet. Just make the outside of the chicken get a bit of color. Do not cook through. (This step could be skipped if you are short on time)
On a square of tin foil, lay the potato slices in the center and top the potatoes with the chicken breast. Spread two teaspoons of salsa on the top of the chicken and sprinkle with shredded cheese.
Wrap the chicken in the tin foil leaving some room for the heat to circulate.
Bake for 30-35 minutes.
To keep warm until dinner time, place the foil packets in a crockpot set on warm.
When you are ready to eat, everyone gets their own packet. Top the cooked chicken with sour cream, extra salsa/cheese, or black olives if desired. A great side for this dish is tortilla chips and cheese dip!
