Make-Ahead Mexican Chicken (Oamc)

Make-Ahead Mexican Chicken (Oamc)


1. Write "Mexican Chicken - 400 degrees F for 45 min, then melt cheese on top" on the outside of a Ziploc bag.

2. Place the chicken in a freezer bag.

3. Add all of the ingredients to the freezer bag, except the cheese.

4. Coat the chicken well, squeeze all of the air out of the bag, and freeze.

5. When you are ready to make the chicken, defrost the chicken in the refrigerator for 24 hours (this also marinates the chicken in the salsa).

6. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (as you have written on your bag, so you wouldn't forget!).

7. Lightly spray a 9x13 pan with cooking spray. Place the chicken in pan, and pour the sauce over the chicken.

8. Bake, uncovered, for 45 minutes.

9. Sprinkle cheddar cheese on the top, and put back into the oven, until the cheese melts (the broiler would be a good alternative for this step too).
