Mexican Chicken

I am telling you guys! This one is so easy! Even if you think you can't boil water you can cook this one!

Prep Time: 15 mintues at the MOST!
Cook Time: 1 hour

All you need is:
Boneless. skinless chicken breast
Salsa
Monterey Jack (or Pepper Jack) Cheese
Salt
Pepper

First preheat oven to 350. Second, wash off your chicken! Salt and Pepper your chicken and place in a Pyrex casserole dish. Cover chicken with salsa and cover the dish with aluminum foil. Cook chicken for 25 minutes covered and 25 minutes uncovered. After the 50 minutes, cover chicken with the shredded cheese cook another 10 minutes or until the cheese has melted to your liking.
Done!
Here are a few tips:
1. Grate your own cheese. Its cheaper and it melts better!
2. Don't fill up the casserole dish with salsa. The juice from the chicken will cause it to overflow and will make a HUGE mess.
3. I prefer the Pepper Jack cheese. It's a little spicy but has more taste than the Monterey Jack.
I like to serve chips, queso, and yellow rice with mine. It is also good with white rice.
