Recipe Instructions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
Step 2
Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center, about 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
Step 3
Place the chicken breast, smooth-side up, on a work surface. Holding it down with one palm, slice breast horizontally, stopping 3/4 of the way through. Open like a book. Spread some salsa on one half, then close. Coat with cooking spray and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Transfer to a baking dish and top with more salsa.
