Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts (boneless, skinless)
- 1 can (10 oz) Canned diced tomatoes with green chilies
- 2 tablespoons Taco seasoning
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup Shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt, black pepper, and 1 tablespoon of taco seasoning.
In a large oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Sear the chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes on each side until lightly browned. Remove the skillet from heat.
In a small bowl, mix the canned diced tomatoes with green chilies and the remaining 1 tablespoon of taco seasoning.
Pour the tomato mixture evenly over the chicken breasts in the skillet.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese and Monterey Jack cheese evenly over the top.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Remove from the oven and allow to rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro if desired.
Serve hot with rice, tortillas, or a side salad for a complete meal.
