Cooking Instructions
Prepare the Chicken
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Rub the chicken breasts with olive oil and sprinkle them with Southwest seasoning, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Cook the Chicken
Place the seasoned chicken breasts in a baking dish and bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
Combine and Serve
Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Slice the chicken and serve it on a plate topped with sautéed vegetables, shredded cheddar cheese, chopped cilantro, and a squeeze of lime juice.
