Salsa Verde Chicken Bake

Author: Kimber

Ingredients

  • 3-4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 8 oz dry whole green Canadian Lentils rinsed
  • 16 oz 1 jar Salsa Verde
  • 1 cup water
  • 4 oz sharp cheddar cheese grated

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400F
  • After you have rinsed your lentils, place them in the bottom of a large casserole dish or 9x13 baking dish and then pour the salsa verde and water over them.
  • Place each chicken breast side by side, directly on top of the mixture and then cover with foil and place on the middle rack in the oven for 45 minutes.
  • After 45 minutes, remove the foil, top with the shredded cheese, and then place back in the oven uncovered, for an additional 5-15 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is melted.
  • Remove from the oven and let the dish set for 5-10 minutes then serve hot. Enjoy!
