Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Bisquick mix
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground paprika
- 1 large Egg
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 1 cup Salsa
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Prepare a shallow dish and add the Bisquick mix, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Stir to combine.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to create an egg wash.
Pat the chicken breasts dry using paper towels.
Dip each chicken breast first into the egg wash, ensuring it is fully coated, and then dredge it in the Bisquick mixture until evenly coated on all sides.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat.
Add the coated chicken breasts to the skillet and brown each side for about 2-3 minutes until golden (you don’t need to fully cook the chicken at this stage).
Remove the skillet from the heat and pour the salsa evenly over the chicken breasts.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the chicken and salsa.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Remove from the oven, let it rest for 5 minutes, and garnish with freshly chopped cilantro, if desired.
Serve warm with rice, tortilla chips, or a side salad.
