Cheesy Salsa And Chicken Pasta Skillet Food

SKILLET SALSA CHICKEN

Steps:

• Add the butter and oil to an oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat. Once the pan is hot, sear the chicken for 3-4 minutes/side until lightly golden. Take the chicken out of the pan and set it aside.
• Add the chicken broth to the pan and scrape up any brown bits. Stir in the salsa.
• Add the chicken back into the pan and let the sauce start to bubble. Spoon some of the salsa over the chicken and sprinkle the cheese over top.
• Place the skillet in the oven and let it cook for 5-7 minutes (chicken will cook through completely and the cheese will melt).
• Serve with fresh chopped cilantro if desired. Season with extra salt & pepper as needed.
