Salsa chicken

 

This is probably the easiest dish I ever made, I had the idea of using a jar of salsa as a cooking sauce when I had nachos out one evening, I was thinking jars of salsa already have delicious flavours of garlic, chili and tomatoes in so no need to add anything else. You can also choose how spicy you like it by choosing a mild or hot salsa. 

You can easily make this in a slow cooker too but would need to pop it under the grill to melt the cheese.

Season the chicken with salt and pepper and place in an ovenproof dish, Pour over the jar of salsa. Bake in an oven heated to Gas6/200/400 for 30 minutes.
