Ingredients

  • 4 chicken breasts
  • 2 teaspoons chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • Salt to taste
  • 1 cup store-bought salsa
  • 1 cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 475F and grease a casserole dish big enough to hold the chicken.
  • In a small bowl, combine the spices, salt, and pepper
  • Place the chicken breasts in the prepared casserole dish and pour the salsa directly on top. Make sure the chicken is covered evenly.
