Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Salsa Chicken Skillet.
Step 1
Start by generously seasoning your chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides, ensuring every bite is packed with flavor.
Step 2
In a large skillet, heat a splash of olive oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers invitingly.
Step 3
Once the oil is hot, gently place the seasoned chicken breasts in the skillet, allowing them to sizzle and develop a beautiful golden-brown crust.
Step 4
This should take about 4 to 6 minutes on each side, filling your kitchen with a mouthwatering aroma.
Step 5
After the chicken is nicely browned, pour a jar of your favorite salsa and a can of chicken broth over the top, creating a vibrant and flavorful sauce.
Step 6
Bring this delightful mixture to a boil, then lower the heat to medium-low and let it simmer for 3 to 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together beautifully.
Step 7
Carefully flip the chicken over and give the salsa mixture a gentle stir, then continue to simmer until the chicken is tender and the sauce has thickened slightly, which should take another 3 to 5 minutes.
Step 8
To ensure your chicken is perfectly cooked, use an instant-read thermometer to check that the internal temperature reaches at least 165°F (74°C).
Step 9
This simple step guarantees juicy, safe-to-eat chicken that’s bursting with flavor.
Step 10
Enjoy your delicious creation!.
