Time 42m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 kg chicken piece
2 tablespoons oil
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 tablespoons dried parsley flakes
1/2 cup chunky salsa
2 lemons, sliced into wedges, to serve

  • Combine chicken with all ingredients except lemon wedges in a baking dish.
  • Cook for 35-40 mins or until chicken is cooked through.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe, flavorful tomatoes: The quality of your tomatoes will greatly impact the flavor of your salsa. Look for tomatoes that are deep red and juicy, with no blemishes.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different types of peppers: The type of pepper you use will determine the heat level of your salsa. For a mild salsa, use milder peppers like poblanos or Anaheim peppers. For a spicier salsa, use hotter peppers like jalapeños or habaneros.
  • Roast your vegetables: Roasting the vegetables in your salsa will help to bring out their natural sweetness and flavor. You can roast them in the oven or on a grill.
  • Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs like cilantro, basil, and oregano will add a pop of flavor to your salsa. Chop them finely and add them to your salsa just before serving.
  • Let your salsa rest: After you've made your salsa, let it rest for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld together and develop.

Conclusion:

Oven-baked salsa chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken is tender and juicy, and the salsa is flavorful and tangy. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
