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:
- For the best flavor, use skinless, boneless chicken breasts or thighs. If you are using chicken with bones, be sure to remove them before cooking.
- To make the chicken more flavorful, marinate it in the picante sauce for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
- If you don't have picante sauce, you can make your own by combining tomato sauce, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, and onion powder.
- To make the chicken crispy, be sure to cook it over medium-high heat and don't overcrowd the pan.
- Serve the chicken with your favorite sides, such as rice, beans, or vegetables.
