Mexican Chicken

Mexican Chicken
Recipe from allrecipes.com

4 Skinless, boneless chicken breasts
1 Clove garlic, minced
Salt
Pepper
Cumin
1 Cup salsa
1 Cup cheddar cheese, shredded

Preheat oven to 375.

(I cut and flattened the chicken breasts.) Rub chicken with garlic and a light sprinkle of salt, pepper, and cumin. Heat pan over medium heat (I used medium-high heat to sear the edges first). Cook until brown on the outsides and no longer pink in the middle (I seared the edges and cooked with a lid on top to cook the chicken faster and not dry it out).

Place chicken in 9x13 baking dish. Top with salsa and cheese. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until cheese is melted and bubbly.

Serve over rice or noodles.
