Baked Salsa Chicken
Last night I headed to the gym right after work at 6 for a quick 45 minute work out, it was great. But the last few times I have done this when I get home I’m so hungry I overeat because then it takes me another 30-45 minutes to make dinner.
So tonight I prepped dinner ahead of time and called D when I was 5 minutes away from being done working out to start the oven and put the chicken in. It turned out to be the best chicken I have ever made.
Baked Salsa Chicken
3 chicken breast, defrosted

Heat oven to 375
- Place chicken in pan that has been sprayed with non stick spray and cover with seasoning on both sides, then top with salsa
