Another personal South Beach Diet friendly favorite of mine. It's flavorful and easy to throw together, bakes in less than 1 hour. I serve this with a side of my Mexican Jumping Beans. For the taco seasoning, I like to make my own (no sugar added; there are plenty of taco seasoning Zaar recipes to choose from, if you would like to make your own. Ingredients:
2 (4 ounce) boneless skinless chicken breasts |
2 teaspoons taco seasoning (i prefer homemade with no sugar added) |
1/2 cup salsa, any degree (i prefer newman's own; it's low in sugar) |
1/2 cup shredded low-fat cheddar cheese (i prefer the mexi-blend) |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
2. Spray a shallow, small baking dish with non-stick spray.
3. Coat chicken lightly with taco seasoning, on both sides; spoon salsa over top of breast.
4. Bake, uncovered, about 45 minutes.
5. Sprinkle cheese on both breasts evenly; bake for another 5 minutes or until cheese is melted through.
