Ingredients:

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
• 1 egg
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese
• Salsa (homemade or store-bought), to taste

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Chicken: Begin by pounding the chicken breasts to flatten them evenly. This step ensures even cooking and tenderness.

2. Seasoning: Season the flattened chicken breasts with salt and pepper according to your taste preferences. This adds depth of flavor to the dish.

3. Breading the Chicken: In a shallow dish, beat the egg. Dip each seasoned chicken breast into the beaten egg, ensuring it’s evenly coated. Then, coat the chicken with breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.

4. Cooking the Chicken: In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the breaded chicken breasts and fry until golden brown on both sides, ensuring they’re cooked through.

5. Assembling: Transfer the cooked chicken breasts to a glass baking dish, arranging them in a single layer.

6. Cheesy Topping: Sprinkle shredded Monterey Jack cheese generously over the cooked chicken breasts, allowing it to melt and create a gooey, indulgent layer.

7. Salsa Magic: Pour salsa over the chicken and cheese, covering them entirely. The salsa adds a burst of flavor and moisture to the dish.

8. Baking: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the assembled dish in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is bubbly and golden.

9. Serve and Enjoy: Once done, remove the dish from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh herbs or additional salsa if desired. Serve Barbara’s Salsa Chicken hot and enjoy the delightful combination of tender chicken, gooey cheese, and zesty salsa!
