Ingredients
- 1 cup Bisquick mix
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground paprika
- 1 large Egg
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 1 cup Salsa
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
Prepare a shallow dish and add the Bisquick mix, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Stir to combine.
Step 3
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to create an egg wash.
Step 4
Pat the chicken breasts dry using paper towels.
Step 5
Dip each chicken breast first into the egg wash, ensuring it is fully coated, and then dredge it in the Bisquick mixture until evenly coated on all sides.
Step 6
Heat the vegetable oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat.
Step 7
Add the coated chicken breasts to the skillet and brown each side for about 2-3 minutes until golden (you don’t need to fully cook the chicken at this stage).
Step 8
Remove the skillet from the heat and pour the salsa evenly over the chicken breasts.
Step 9
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the chicken and salsa.
Step 10
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Step 11
Remove from the oven, let it rest for 5 minutes, and garnish with freshly chopped cilantro, if desired.
Step 12
Serve warm with rice, tortilla chips, or a side salad.
