Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 teaspoons Adobo seasoning
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 cup Jarred salsa (mild, medium, or hot based on preference)
- 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh cilantro (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Pat the chicken breasts dry with a paper towel. Sprinkle both sides of the chicken evenly with the adobo seasoning.
Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and sear for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the skillet from heat.
Pour the salsa evenly over the seared chicken breasts, ensuring they are well-coated. Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese on top.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).
Remove the skillet from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. If desired, garnish with freshly chopped cilantro before serving.
Serve warm with your choice of sides, such as rice, roasted vegetables, or a side salad.
