EASY-CHEESY SALSA CHICKEN
This is such a simple dish to make. No measuring needed. Just add the ingredients to your liking. I have made this with Spanish Rice before and it is great, or just plain rice works too. Refried Beans, complete the menu.

Steps:
- Flatten Chicken Breasts so they are of equal thickness for even cooking.
- In stir-fry skillet or any deep frying pan (with lid), heat your Olive Oil.
- Add the Chicken Breasts and brown on both sides until no longer pink inside.
- Pour over salsa to your liking. I use about a half a 16 oz. jar. I also add a little water to tone down the heat, (hubby can't handle spice).
- Cover and simmer chicken in salsa for about half-hour to 45 minutes.
- Top with cheese to serve.
