Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season one side of chicken breasts with half the cumin, half the garlic powder, salt, and black pepper; arrange chicken breasts with seasoned sides down in the hot oil. Fry until chicken is lightly browned on the bottom, 4 to 5 minutes.
- Season the top of each chicken breast with the remaining cumin, remaining garlic powder, salt, and black pepper; flip chicken and cook until other side is lightly browned, 4 to 5 minutes. If the skillet gets dry, pour in just enough juice from the salsa to keep it from burning.
- Transfer chicken breasts to a 9x9-inch baking dish; sprinkle with Mexican cheese blend. Loosen all the drippings from the skillet with a little more juice from the salsa and pour on top of chicken breasts. Spoon salsa over cheese layer.
- Bake chicken breasts until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 20 to 25 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

Steps:
- Place the chicken breasts in a large ziplock bag. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lime juice, garlic, cilantro, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper.
- Pour the marinade over the chicken and seal the bag, squeezing out all the air.
- Move the chicken around in the marinade until it is all evenly coated.
- Refrigerate and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes and up to 4 hours (see note).
- You can freeze the chicken in the marinade immediately and let it marinate as it defrosts, or marinate and cook it immediately.
- Either grill the chicken for 6-8 per side, pan fry for 6-8 minutes per side over medium heat, or bake at 375 degrees F for 20-30 minutes, or until an internal temperature of 165 degrees F has been reached.
- Let the chicken rest, tented with foil, for 5 minutes before serving.

OVEN BAKED CHICKEN QUESADILLAS
This is how to make multiple Quesadillas in one batch, rather than making them one by one on the stove! They are crispy and stuffed with Fajita flavoured chicken, onion, capsicum/bell peppers and of course cheese. Use this technique to make quesadillas with anything you want - just ensure you cool the filling. See recipe VIDEO below the recipe to see how crispy these are!

Steps:
- Place Chicken ingredients in a bowl and mix to coat chicken.
- Heat oil in skillet over high heat. Add onion and garlic, cook for 1 minute. Then add capsicum and cook for 2 minutes until starting to soften. Transfer into bowl.
- Return skillet to the stove. Add chicken and cook until browned. Add to same bowl. Set aside until the filling cools (to speed it up, cover and refrigerate, and/or spread out on plate).
- Preheat oven to 220C / 430F (standard) or 200C/390F (fan / convection).
- Spray baking tray lightly with olive oil. Heat in the oven while you assemble the quesadillas.
- Divide the filling between the tortillas, covering half the surface. Top with cheese. Fold in half and press down gently but firmly.
- Remove baking tray from oven. Transfer quesadillas onto tray (you should hear a soft sizzle).
- Bake for 8 minutes. Then turn the quesadillas (over the folded edge) then press down with the egg flip. Bake for a further 8 minutes or until the surface is crispy.
- Remove from oven and serve immediately!

OVEN BAKED MEXICAN CHICKEN BREAST

Steps:
- Prepare Chicken Breasts: Trim any fat from the chicken breasts, place each breast on top of a sheet of plastic wrap, and then place another sheet of plastic wrap over the breast1 (see Notes section). Flatten the chicken breasts to an even thickness by using a rolling pin or meat mallet. Starting at the middle of the breast, gently pound down and out toward the edges until there is no longer a hump and the breast is an even thickness throughout.
- Brine Chicken Breasts: Fill a large bowl with one quart of warm water. Add ¼ cup of kosher salt to the water and mix until the salt is fully dissolved. Add the chicken breasts to the water and allow to sit for 15 to 20 minutes. Remove the chicken breasts from the brine, and then pat dry with paper towels.
- Preheat oven to 450°
- Season Chicken Breasts: Place the breasts on a baking sheet or in a baking dish. Brush both sides of each chicken breast with olive oil and evenly coat each side with my Homemade Taco Seasoning mix. Alternatively, season with your own favorite taco seasoning.
- Bake Chicken Breasts: Place the baking sheet on the middle rack of the oven and bake until the breasts reach an internal temperature of 165°F, this can take anywhere from 10 to 20 minutes2 (see Notes section) depending on the thickness of the breasts and your oven's settings. For instance, when I set my oven to the traditional Bake setting, the breasts usually cook to 165°F in 12 to 14 minutes. If I set my oven on Single Rack Convection Bake, they usually cook to 165°F in 8 to 10 minutes. I highly recommend using a probe or meat thermometer to get the best results.
- After removing the chicken from the oven, allow it to rest for 8 to 10 minutes before serving.

VERSATILE MEXICAN CHICKEN THIGHS
Chicken thighs are coated with a seasoning mix composed in part of typical Mexican flavors: cumin and oregano. They are then cooked on the stovetop for an easy, flavorful meal. The thighs may be eaten as a main dish accompanied by sides of tortillas, refried beans, tomato salsa and perhaps Mexican rice. Or consider them as fillings for warm corn tortillas. Either way, I think you'll like these -- both for their flavor and for their ease of preparation!

Steps:
- Coat large saute pan with oil. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Brown chicken over medium heat, allow 7 minutes each side or until no longer pink. Sprinkle chicken with cumin, garlic powder and Mexican spices before turning. Remove chicken to a platter, allow to cool.

Using a large shallow bowl, dip each tortilla in enchilada sauce to lightly coat. Spoon 1/4 cup chicken mixture in each tortilla. Fold over filling, place 8 enchiladas in each pan with seam side down. Top with remaining enchilada sauce and cheese.
- Bake for 15 minutes in a preheated 350 degree F oven until cheese melts. Garnish with cilantro, scallion, sour cream and chopped tomatoes before serving. Serve with Spanish rice and beans.

- Enchiladas Divorciadas. For the diner who can never decide, this classic dish marries salsa roja and salsa verde over a bed of chicken enchiladas. A crown of queso fresco, crème fraîche, and crisp raw onions bridge the gap.
- Instant-Pot Red Chicken Enchiladas. These pressure cooker enchiladas are all about the tortillas and the ancho chile sauce. Shredded chicken and cheese round out the dish.
- Chicken Mole. Traditional mole usually requires a pantry's worth of ingredients and an entire day in the kitchen. Here, we've streamlined the ingredient list—and figured out how to make an incredible sauce in a couple of hours.
- Breaded Chicken Sandwiches with Sesame Rolls (Cemita Poblana de Milanesa) Most people have heard of a torta—one of the traditional sandwiches of Mexico—but the cemita is its own unique breed of Mexican sandwich.
- Easy Chicken Tortilla Soup With Bean and Cheese Nachos. This weeknight-friendly soup is enriched by the flavor of smoky chipotles, brightened by fresh lime, and ready in just 22 minutes or less.
- Green Chile Chicken Tamales (Tamales con Salsa Verde y Pollo) Masa labeled "masa preparada para tamales" often contains baking powder and salt, so don't add either if it does.
- Slow-Cooker Green Chicken Chili. Made with chicken, sweet potatoes, tomatillo salsa, and pinto beans, this easy chili is a cross between chile verde and white chicken chili.
- Chipotle Chicken Tacos with Potatoes and Guacamole. Finish these spicy, smoky, guacamole-topped tacos with crisp, thinly sliced radishes and bright lime, and get ready to watch them disappear.
- Chicken Under a Brick with Avocados and Chiles. This technique encourages even cooking with the crispiest skin imaginable. The key to success is to cook the chicken over medium-low coals so the skin slowly renders out the fat.
- Skillet Chicken and Zucchini Enchiladas with Tomatillo Sauce. Why should tacos have all the fun? These enchiladas are just as fast and easy, thanks to a one-pan stove-top cooking technique and a few store-bought shortcuts.
