Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breast
- 10 ounces rotel tomatoes with green chiles, drained
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon cumin
- ½ teaspoon chili powder
- ¾ cup shredded cheddar cheese
- freshly chopped cilantro
- freshly chopped green onions
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400˚F.

- After draining the Rotel, spread it evenly over the chicken breasts, then top with shredded cheddar cheese.
- Cover the dish with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Then, remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 5-10 minutes, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165˚F.
