Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Spicy Salsa-Stuffed Chicken Breast.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 425°F (220°C), setting the stage for a delicious meal.
Step 2
Next, grab a chicken breast and place it on a cutting board with the smooth side facing up.
Step 3
With a sharp knife in hand, gently slice the chicken horizontally, stopping about three-quarters of the way through.
Step 4
Think of it as opening a book—this will create a lovely pocket for all the flavors to come.
Step 5
Now, spread a generous layer of zesty salsa on one half of the chicken, then fold the other half over to seal in that spicy goodness.
Step 6
To give your chicken a little extra love, lightly coat the outside with cooking spray and sprinkle it with salt and pepper to taste.
Step 7
This simple step adds a delightful touch to the final dish.
Step 8
Carefully transfer your stuffed chicken into a baking dish and top it off with a bit more salsa for that extra kick.
Step 9
Pop it into your preheated oven and let it bake for about 30 minutes.
Step 10
You’ll know it’s ready when the chicken is no longer pink in the center, and an instant-read thermometer shows at least 165°F (74°C) when inserted into the thickest part.
Step 11
As the aroma fills your kitchen, you’ll be counting down the minutes until you can enjoy this flavorful creation!.
