This sounds wonderful! I'm always looking for new ways to cook boneless chicken breasts. I'll have to try this one. Thanks!

You are welcome. We eat a lot of boneless chicken breasts.

You really need to do a cookbook or a blog so we can all easily find your wonderful recipes.

Thanks! I have put a cookbook together before and sold it. It was fun but a lot of work. I do have a website where you can find my recipes that I post here along with some from my cookbook. Family Camping Chat

Here is another version of salsa chicken.

I thought I would add to this thread. Your recipe looks delish, and I hope it's okay that I include another version. I think it's a great week-night meal.

-4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
-1 (2 1/2 ounce) envelope Shake-n-Bake
-1/2 cup mild or med. salsa
-1/2 cup monterey jack cheese, shredded

-Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
-Coat chicken with coating mix as directed on package.
-Place the chicken on an ungreased baking sheet.
-Bake for 20 minutes or until chicken is cooked through [internal temperature of 170 degrees F.
-Top each breast with 2 Tbsp of salsa, then sprinkle evenly with cheese.
-Bake an additional 5 minutes or until cheese is melted.

4 servings

I have a question about this.. You say to use a package of Taco Bell Seasoning Mix...

I looked at a few different stores, and all I could find was a Taco Bell Taco Seasoning.. like that you use for the hamburger meat when you make Tacos. Is this the same thing?

Yes, the same thing. Sorry, I would correct if I knew how to edit an old post. I must be missing something or we cant go back and edit an old post anymore.
