Step 2
Bake at 350°F. for 25 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through.
Step 3
Stir the sauce in the dish and spoon over the chicken. Sprinkle the chicken with the tortilla chips and cheese. Bake until the cheese is melted.
Easy but bland
This recipe was very easy to make and quick. But I found it to be somewhat bland. I was expecting more kick.
Will try again
This looked great to me, so I made it, but only one serving, for my husband. He was not crazy about it, but I think it's because he isn't into "spicy" and I used medium salsa. Will try again with mild or maybe mango salsa. And next time I'll make two servings so I can try it also.
So quick and amazingly awesome!
I think the sauce gave it enough flavor for me and my husband. He wanted a little more crushed tortilla chips so he did that on his own. We both didn't want the dish to end!! The longest part was waiting for the oven to preheat- this was so easy.
Baked Picante Chicken
After reading other reviews, I decided to season my chicken prior to baking. I used paprika, seasoned pepper and a dash of salt and it was great! My husband liked it and it was easy to prepare on a time crunch. I also think serving mexican rice and beans makes it a meal complete
Too hot! Didn't like picante sauce flavor or chunks in it.
