A delightful twist on baked chicken, combining tangy salsa with a hint of sweetness for a flavorful dish.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and a consistent texture.
Place the chicken breasts in a baking dish lightly coated with cooking spray.
Arrange the chicken in a single layer for even cooking.
In a mixing bowl, combine the salsa, honey, Dijon mustard, and vinegar. Mix well.
Taste the mixture and adjust the sweetness or tanginess to your preference.
Pour the salsa mixture over the chicken breasts, ensuring they are well coated.
Use a spoon to spread the mixture evenly over the chicken.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Cover the dish with foil if the top starts to brown too quickly.
Serve the baked chicken with your choice of rice or buttered noodles.
Garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley for a pop of color and flavor.
