Why we love Salsa Chicken Bake Recipe

This time around we decided to keep things simple and served it with some warm homemade tortillas and Spanish rice. With just a few minutes, and very few ingredients, we had a great meal ready to serve!  It whips up in no time and leftover’s can be used in so many ways!

How to use leftover Salsa Chicken Bake Recipe

The best part about this meal are all of the leftover possibilities! I like to divide whatever remains into two portions. The first I shred and place into little bags to be used in burritos or fajitas. The other half gets cubed for chicken quesadillas or to be served as is when lunchtime rolls around.

How to make Salsa Chicken Bake Recipe

    • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
    • Lightly mist a 9x13 baking dish with cooking spray and set aside.
    • Trim the fat off of your chicken and place in a single layer in pan.
    • Cover with a generous amount of salsa and bake for 35 minutes.
    • Sprinkle with cheese and continue baking 10-15 minutes, or until your chicken is cooked through.
    • Slow Cooker option: Place your chicken and salsa inside your slow cooker.
    • Cook on medium for four hours, top with cheese, and serve!

Fit Friday with Nichole

--
How is your January going? On the path you set out to be on come January 1st? This weekend I had a brief temper tantrum with the kids having a few days of online learning. A bit of a panic set in that they would be home 24/7 again. I love my children, don’t take that as to say I don’t. But we do much better when they leave the house during the day. When I get to have a moment to myself not as “MOM” because it is rarely a quiet “mom” when they are all home.

As the temper tantrum passes on the mom front a new feeling settled over, antipathy. A complete lack of motivation to get out and run. I have a marathon in April, a marathon that I signed up for in 2018. A marathon I have trained for and have yet to run. The weekend passed on by and I re-found my motivation and got out for some great runs this week. But I’m the moments between antipathy passing and motivation rebuilding I found myself doing something I should do more often, checking in with me and my goals.
I took a moment to evaluate goals I set and see if I was still on point or if I needed to recommit or change things up.

Goals assessed.
Mind ready.
Body ready.

And with all of that, let’s get going on a new workout this week to keep the motivation flowing!
This week I am hitting core again with some plyos. This is one of my favorite combos because nothing says “let’s do this” better than a strong power house (core) and some explosive (plyo) moves!
