  4. Pour the salsa mixture evenly over the chicken breasts.
  5. Bake uncovered for 30 minutes.
  6. Remove from oven and baste chicken with the sauce. Sprinkle 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan cheese over the top.
  7. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 170°F (77°C).
  8. Serve immediately over your favorite pasta, ladling the remaining sauce over the top.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
