Salsa Chicken

The boyfriend found us a new chicken recipe!  I loved this one!  Except next time I would cut the breasts in half and maybe consider putting the taco seasoning in a bag and shaking them to coat instead of trying to evenly sprinkle it on.  It must be that I always get the gigantic chicken breasts at the store because it took closer to 50 minutes before the biggest one tested done.  (By the time it was done, I forgot to get a picture - we were starving and the smells had been making us even hungrier!)

INGREDIENTS:
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
4 teaspoons taco seasoning mix
1 cup salsa
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
2 tablespoons sour cream (optional)
DIRECTIONS:
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C)
2. Place chicken breasts in a lightly greased 9x13 inch baking dish. Sprinkle taco seasoning on both sides of chicken breasts, and pour salsa over all.
3. Bake at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) for 25 to 35 minutes, or until chicken is tender and juicy and its juices run clear.
4. Sprinkle chicken evenly with cheese, and continue baking for an additional 3 to 5 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly. Top with sour cream if desired, and serve.
