Ingredients

  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts (3 breasts)
  • 16 oz salsa verde
  • 1 tablespoon taco seasoning
  • 4 oz cream cheese softened
  • 2 cups Monterey Jack cheese, shredded

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375
  • Cut the chicken breasts in half lengthwise so you have 6 equal pieces
  • Pour 1/2 cup of salsa verde on the bottom of the baking dish. Place the chicken on top and season with the taco seasoning.
  • Dot the chicken with cream cheese cubes, or spread the cream cheese if softened. It will soften in the oven so that it will become spreadable.
  • Top with shredded cheese and pour the remaining salsa verde over the chicken.
  • Bake for 30 minutes or until the chicken registers 165 degrees on a meat thermometer.
