- Bake in 350 °F (175 °C) oven for about 25 minutes, checking occasionally.

I took somebody elses advice and added some cajun spice to the chicken (I make my own mix based on Emerill's Essence). We had our chicken over romaine lettuce, and the differneces in textures, the crunch of the lettuce with the chicken was really good! The whole family liked it, so this one is a keeper... :-D

This happens to be one of my families favorites and there are never any left overs. I even gave the recipe to my sister and they eat it often as well. Her husband thinks its so yummy as well as mine.

I just omitted the sour cream for myself but my husband loved it! I also sprinkled the chicken with some taco seasoning on the chicken before putting the salsa on it. It was a great addition to the taste.....

I made this to take to a party on Superbowl Sunday (to try to eat healthy). It was delicious (without the sour cream). I cooked the chicken about 5 or 10 minutes longer because it was still pink inside, but it was still super moist. Bonus, my (extremely picky) boyfriend ate the leftovers the next day and said it tasted amazing.

So easy to make (which is a big plus) but made it without the sour cream

I didn't use sour cream with mine, but it was still pretty good. I used a Mango salsa which is a little sweeter, so might be better as a Phase 3 in South Beach.

This was a great dish. We skipped the sour cream by accident and still thought it was really good. It counts as a protein, a dairy, and a condiment. I added some whole grain rice and a nice salad for a starch and two veggies. It was very good and very filling.

You can have cheese and olive oil...sour cream is a no-no...
