This baked Salsa Fresca Chicken is made with seasoning, onion, jalapeno, tomatoes, cilantro, lime, and topped with mozzarella cheese. It’s very simple, healthy, and so delicious! I slightly adapted this recipe on EatWell101 and it is officially one of my favorites now! We had ours on top of rice, but next time I am going to try it with tortillas and lettuce. Try it! You won’t be disappointed 🙂
Enjoy! ~Mary
