Ingredients

cooking spray
4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
1 clove garlic, minced
1 pinch salt
1 pinch ground black pepper
1 pinch ground cumin
1 cup salsa
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese

Directions

1 Gather the ingredients. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
2 Heat a greased skillet over medium heat. Rub chicken pieces with garlic, salt, pepper, and cumin to taste; place in the hot skillet. Cook until brown on both sides and no longer pink, 10 to 15 minutes.
