This is the perfect weeknight dinner for a busy family. It's made in one pan, has just a few ingredients, and can be on the table in about 45 minutes. The best thing though is that it is tasty with lots of wonderful flavors.
16 oz. jar tomatillo salsa verde
1 lb. skinless, boneless chicken breasts
1 T. extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 t. kosher salt
1/8 t. pepper
1 t. garlic powder
2 c. grated Monterey Jack cheese
3 Roma tomatoes, diced
1/3 c. chopped fresh cilantro or parsley
cooked white rice, for serving
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Coat a 9×13 baking dish with cooking spray.
Pour salsa into the prepared dish. Baste the chicken with olive oil; season with salt, pepper and garlic powder. Lay the chicken on top of the salsa in a single layer; toss to coat.
Bake for 40 minutes or until chicken is cooked through and juices run clear.
Sprinkle cheese over the chicken; place under the broiler for a few minutes until melted and bubbly.
Sprinkle with chopped fresh tomatoes and cilantro or parsley.
Serve over cooked white rice.
