Baked Southwest Chicken


Baked Southwest Chicken
This Southwestern Baked Chicken is one of my go-to weeknight meals. It is both wholesome and ridiculously delicious, yet takes just ten minutes of hands-on time. You are going to love how easy it is to make ahead so that dinner is ready to pop in the oven at the end of a busy day. This recipe does have a kick to it thanks to the jalapeno, garlic, and onion, but lends itself easily to adjusting individual portions for picky little ones.
