Salsa Fresca Chicken Bake

Ingredients:

For the chicken:
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts about 6 ounces each
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons keto taco seasoning
1/2 cups shredded Monterey jack

For the salsa fresca:
3 roma tomatoes
½ yellow onion
1 small jalapeno more or less to taste
¼ cup chopped cilantro
1 teaspoon salt
1 lime juiced

Directions:

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

Add the chicken breasts to a 9×13 baking dish.

Drizzle with the oil and sprinkle both sides with the taco seasoning. Coat the chicken in the seasoning.

Bake for 25-30 minutes or until chicken reaches 160 degrees.

While the chicken is baking, dice the tomatoes and onion. Mince the jalapeno.

Add the tomatoes, onion, jalapeno, cilantro, and salt to a small bowl. Squeeze the lime juice over the top and toss to combine.

When chicken reaches 165 degrees, remove from the oven and top immediately with the Monterey jack. Let sit for 1-2 minutes for the cheese to melt.

Spoon the pico de gallo over the chicken and serve immediately.

Servings: 1 breast
