Ingredients
4 skinless chicken breasts
40g tortilla chips
200g spicy tomato salsa
142ml soured cream
handful handful grated mature cheddar cheese
Directions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (fan 180°C, gas mark 6). Coarsely crush the tortilla chips in a bowl and set aside.
Place the chicken breasts on a non-stick baking tray. Season both sides with salt and pepper to taste.
Using a sharp knife, make 3 diagonal slashes across the top of each chicken breast (do not cut all the way through).
Top each chicken breast with 1 tablespoon of the spicy salsa, spreading it gently into and over the slashes.
Dollop 1 tablespoon of soured cream over each chicken breast.
Sprinkle the crushed tortilla chips evenly over all four breasts, then top with the grated cheddar cheese.
Bake for 15–20 minutes until the cheese is melted and golden brown, and the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Serve immediately.
Comments
This is a straightforward weeknight winner that costs about $3 to $3.50 per serving and uses ingredients stocked everywhere—Harris Teeter, Food Lion, Publix, Walmart, ALDI, and Kroger all carry chicken breasts, tortilla chips, salsa, sour cream, and cheddar without requiring a special trip. The 25-minute estimate holds if you're using rotisserie chicken or thin-sliced breasts; fresh chicken cooked from raw will run closer to 35 minutes including browning and assembly, so budget accordingly. This reheats decently and feeds a family of four with minimal fussiness, though it's best served fresh or same-night when the chips stay crisp—leftovers soften noticeably by the next day.
