This recipe is one that was passed down from my mom. She loves an easy recipe as much as I do and she used to make this Salsa Chicken all the time. She even nwould add black beans and corn sometimes right to the dish to bake with the chicken.
How to make Salsa Chicken
Step one: Get started by preheating oven 375 degrees F. Prepare a 9×13 casserole dish with nonstick cooking spray.
Step two: Then season your chicken with taco seasoning and then place in the prepared casserole dish. Last pour your salsa over the chicken. Then cover your casserole dish with foil.

Step three: Bake for 30-35 minutes until chicken is cooked through. Remove chicken from the oven.
Step four: Top chicken with shredded cheese and then place back into the oven for 4-5 minutes until cheese is melted.
Step five: Remove from oven and serve.
