Preparation

Step 1

1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Spray a sheet pan with cooking oil and set aside.

2. Place the olive oil, the chicken breast fillets, and all other ingredients, except the cheese, sour cream, and salsa, into a bowl. Toss until coated.

3. Place the coated filets on the baking sheet and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest piece of chicken registers at least 165°F.

4. Remove the cooked chicken from the oven, top with the shredded cheese, and return to the oven just long enough for the cheese to melt, about 2 minutes.

5. Serve each piece topped with 1 tablespoon each of the sour cream and salsa.

HELPFUL HINTS
While the alcohol cooks out of this, you can leave the tequila out altogether if desired.
