A flavorful and easy-to-make chicken dish with a Mexican twist, perfect for a quick and healthy dinner.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and the right texture.
In a mixing bowl, combine the taco seasoning with a tablespoon of water to form a paste.
Adding water to the seasoning helps it adhere better to the chicken.
Coat the chicken breasts evenly with the seasoning paste.
Use your hands or a brush for even coating.
Place the seasoned chicken breasts in a baking dish.
Arrange the chicken in a single layer for even cooking.
Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.
Check the chicken's doneness with a meat thermometer; it should read 165°F (74°C).
Spread the salsa over the chicken and bake for an additional 5 minutes.
Heating the salsa enhances its flavor and integrates it with the chicken.
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes.
Resting allows the juices to redistribute, keeping the chicken moist.
Top the chicken with a dollop of Greek yogurt before serving.
For a fresh touch, garnish with chopped cilantro or green onions.
