Salsa Verde Chicken: An Incredible Ultimate Recipe for Everyone


  • Author: Olivia
  • Total Time: 9 minute

Ingredients

– 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 1 cup salsa verde (store-bought or homemade)
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 1 teaspoon cumin
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon onion powder
– ½ teaspoon salt
– ½ teaspoon pepper
– Fresh cilantro leaves for garnish
– Lime wedges for serving


Instructions

Follow these easy steps to create your amazing Salsa Verde Chicken:

1. Preheat Your Oven: Set the oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it’s hot when you’re ready to cook.

2. Prepare Chicken: Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. This helps them sear nicely.

3. Season Chicken: In a bowl, mix cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Rub this seasoning mixture all over the chicken breasts.

4. Heat Olive Oil: In a large oven-safe skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.

5. Sear Chicken: Add the seasoned chicken breasts to the skillet. Sear for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.

6. Add Salsa Verde: Pour the salsa verde into the skillet, stirring to combine with the remaining juices.

7. Return Chicken: Place the seared chicken breasts back into the skillet, ensuring they are coated with the salsa.

8. Bake: Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

9. Rest: After baking, let the chicken rest for about 5-10 minutes. This helps retain moisture.

10. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle fresh cilantro over the top and serve with lime wedges on the side for extra zing.

By following these steps, you’ll achieve a deliciously seasoned and perfectly cooked Salsa Verde Chicken that will delight your taste buds.
