Baked Queso Chicken balances molten cheese and tender white meat, a simple dish turned quietly elegant for weeknights or small dinners.

  • Total Time: 50 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 chicken breasts
  • 1 cup queso dip
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Olive oil (optional)
  • Chopped fresh cilantro (for garnish, optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. If desired, drizzle a little olive oil in a baking dish to prevent sticking.
  3. Place the chicken breasts in the baking dish and top each breast with queso dip.
  4. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is melted and golden brown.
  5. Remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes.
  6. Garnish with chopped cilantro if desired, then serve and enjoy your cheesy baked queso chicken!

Notes

For best results, ensure chicken breasts are evenly sized. Rotate the baking dish halfway through if your oven has hot spots.
