📝 Preparation Steps
1
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.

Pound chicken to an even 1-inch thickness, then baste with the olive oil and season with the salt, pepper, and garlic powder on both sides.
garlic powder1 teaspoon
4
Lay the chicken in a single layer in the baking dish; pour the salsa verde over the top so the chicken breasts are completely covered (you don't want any of the chicken exposed or they will dry out while baking.)
5
Top with the shredded cheese.
6
Place in the oven and bake for ⏱️ 20-22 minutes or until an instant read thermometer reads 165 degrees F., the cheese is melted, and the sauce is bubbly. (If the cheese isn't golden, put the pan under the broiler for a minute or two, watching carefully so it doesn't over-brown.)
7
Sprinkle with diced fresh tomatoes and cilantro. Serve over cooked white rice or cauliflower rice for a low carb meal.
