Baked Salsa Chicken

Preheat the oven to 400 F and heat an oven-proof skillet to medium-high with the olive oil. Combine all of the spices in a small bowl.

When the skillet is hot, add the chicken in one layer with a sprinkle of the seasoning blend. Let the chicken cook for 1-2 minutes, then flip when chicken is brown. Brown on the second side, then remove it from the skillet to a plate. Don’t crowd the skillet. Brown the chicken in multiple batches if you need to.

Once you’ve cooked all of the chicken and set it aside, add the vegetables and garlic into the hot skillet, and turn off the heat. Sprinkle the veggies with a bit more of the seasoning blend. Arrange the browned chicken on top of the vegetables, and pour the salsa and tomato sauce on top.

Put the skillet into the oven and bake the chicken at 400 F for 15-20 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce is bubbly. Serve with rice, salad, or any way you like.

Enjoy!

Notes:
– If you use larger pieces of chicken, increase the baking time to fully cook the chicken.
– If you don’t have an oven-proof skillet, brown the meat in a skillet and set aside. Toss the veggies in the hot skillet to pick up any pan drippings, then arrange everything in a baking dish and bake until cooked through.
