Spicy Salsa Chicken

Here's a really quick dinner recipe that is also tasty!  This is my "spicy salsa chicken."

Ingredients:

2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts (alternately, use 6 thin chicken tenders)
1 packet of taco seasoning
2/3 cup of shredded cheddar cheese
1 tsp. Olive oil
Dash of pepper
1/2 cup of salsa (spicy & chunky is better!)
1 cup of spanish or mexican rice

Instructions:

Put the taco seasoning into a bowl and add a dash of pepper.  Roll the chicken pieces around in it, covering them entirely.  Now, place the chicken onto a baking sheet, drizzle on the olive oil, and bake at 350 degrees for about 15 minutes.  After 15 minutes, take the chicken out.  Now, pour the salsa over the chicken and sprinkle the cheddar cheese over it.  Place back into the oven for about 15 more minutes so that the cheese is melted and the chicken is cooked through.

In the meantime, cook the rice on the stovetop.  When the rice is done, place it on a plate, and then serve the chicken on top of it.  You can also now add a bit of extra salsa or cheese on top of this, if you'd like.  Enjoy!

Here's how I served my spicy salsa chicken:
