Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Place thawed chicken in greased 9" x 13" baking dish and lightly salt/pepper, if desired.
- Bake chicken for 30 minutes and remove.
- Place sour cream on chicken and spread over breast (be sure to not place spoon back into container after touching chicken).
- Spread salsa over chicken.
- Bake another 10-15 minutes.
- After baking is complete, sprinkle mozzarella over each breast and place back in oven for 1 minute.
- (I found that the cheese browns nicely if you run it under the broiler for a short time.).
Tips:
- Choose the right chicken: For this recipe, boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs work best.
- Slice the chicken thinly: This will help it cook quickly and evenly.
- Use a large skillet: This will give the chicken plenty of room to brown without overcrowding.
- Don't overcrowd the skillet: If you do, the chicken will steam instead of brown.
- Cook the chicken over medium heat: This will help prevent it from burning.
- Stir the chicken frequently: This will help it cook evenly.
- Add the vegetables towards the end of cooking: This will help them retain their crunch.
- Season to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other spices to taste.
- Serve immediately: Chicken piccante is best served hot and fresh.
Conclusion:
Chicken piccante is a quick and easy weeknight meal that is sure to please the whole family. It is packed with flavor and can be easily customized to your liking. So next time you are looking for a delicious and satisfying meal, give chicken piccante a try!
