Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken: Boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs work best for this recipe. If you're using frozen chicken, be sure to thaw it completely before cooking.
  • Use a thick salsa: A thick salsa will help to coat the chicken and vegetables and prevent them from drying out. If you're using a thin salsa, you may need to add some cornstarch or flour to thicken it.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: If you're using a small baking dish, you may need to cook the chicken and vegetables in batches. Overcrowding the pan will prevent the chicken from cooking evenly.
  • Serve with your favorite sides: Salsa chicken bake is a versatile dish that can be served with a variety of sides. Some popular options include rice, beans, tortillas, and salad.

Conclusion:

Salsa chicken bake is an easy and delicious weeknight meal that can be made with just a few simple ingredients.
