Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 pound chicken breast Boneless, skinless
  • 1 cup salsa Choose your favorite variety
  • 1 cup shredded cheese Any type you prefer
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil For cooking

Method
 

Cooking
  1. Start by heating olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add the chicken breast to the skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is golden brown.
  3. Pour the salsa over the chicken in the skillet. Simmer for about 15 minutes, allowing the chicken to soak up the flavor.
  4. Sprinkle the shredded cheese on top of the chicken and salsa. Cover the skillet with a lid and let the cheese melt for about 5 minutes.
  5. Once the cheese is melted, serve and enjoy your delicious meal!

Notes

This dish is great on its own but can be served with rice, tortillas, or a fresh salad. Add toppings like avocado or sour cream for extra flavor. If you have leftovers, place them in an airtight container and store them in the refrigerator. The dish will stay fresh for 3-4 days. You can also freeze it for up to 3 months; just make sure to reheat thoroughly before serving.
