Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400˚F.
In a bowl, combine salt, garlic powder, cumin, and chili powder. Season both sides of the chicken breasts and place them in a large casserole dish.
Drain the Rotel tomatoes and spread them evenly over the chicken breasts. Top with shredded cheddar cheese.
Cover the dish with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Then, remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 5-10 minutes until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165˚F.
Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro or green onions, serve warm.

Notes

For extra flavor, consider marinating the chicken in the spice mixture for 1-2 hours before cooking.
You can substitute the cheddar cheese with Monterey Jack or Pepper Jack for a spicier kick.
Serve this dish with rice or tortillas to soak up the delicious juices.
