Then slice your chicken in half lengthwise, making the chicken thinner.
Season with salt, pepper, and taco seasoning. Do both sides of the chicken.
Heat oil in an oven proof skillet and then pan sear the chicken on both sides. You want to make sure the chicken fully cooks. Internal temperature needs to be 165 degrees.

Once done serve up the salsa chicken with your favorite sides.
Notes
Chicken - You want to cut thick chicken into thinner strips to ensure that your chicken is thinner and will cook a lot quicker. Cheese - Any flavor of cheese works great for this chicken dinner idea. Even a quesadilla cheese or Mexican cheese blend would be great. Add In Items - You can add in a can of corn, black beans for a more flavorful chicken salsa casserole. Leftovers - Store leftovers in an airtight container for 2-4 days in the fridge. This is a great way to enjoy chicken for meal prepping for lunches for the week. Double Recipe - You are more than welcome to double the recipe if you want. Just grab a large enough skillet.
