Taco Salsa Chicken

( I used no cheese this time.)

I don't remember where I got the original recipe for this, but I remember tweaking it to suit my needs. I have cut it up and rolled it in a tortilla shell with lettuce and have used it in a taco shell or over whole grain rice.
I haven't made this in quite some time. Next time I do I will post the picture.
It is very good, and lots of protein.
Try it and let me know what you think!



4 skinless, boneless skinless chicken breast halves
4 teaspoons taco seasoning mix
1 cup salsa (use any heat that you prefer)
1 cup shredded low fat cheddar cheese (optional)(I use fat free sometimes, it cuts down the nutritional count for fats)
2 tablespoons fat free sour cream (optional)
chopped green onion (optional)


Preheat oven to 375 degrees F
Place chicken breasts in a lightly greased 9x13 inch baking dish. Sprinkle taco seasoning on both sides of chicken breasts, and pour salsa over all.
Bake at 375 degrees F for 25 to 35 minutes, or until chicken is tender and juicy and its juices run clear.
Sprinkle chicken evenly with cheese, and continue baking for an additional 3 to 5 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly. Top with sour cream and green onion if desired, and serve.
Yield: 4 servings
