You can easily tweak this 4-ingredient salsa chicken to fit what you have on hand. For extra seasoning without more fuss, sprinkle 1 teaspoon of chili powder or taco seasoning over the chicken along with the salt before you add the salsa (this keeps it simple but still technically sticks to the core four ingredients doing the main work).
If your chicken breasts are very thick, you can slice them in half horizontally so they cook more quickly and evenly. To make it cheesy, add a handful of shredded cheddar or Mexican blend over the chicken during the last 5–10 minutes of baking so it melts but doesn’t overbrown.
For a lower-sodium option, choose a low-salt salsa and reduce the added salt slightly. You can also swap the type of salsa: a fire-roasted chunky salsa gives a smoky flavor, while a corn-and-black-bean chunky salsa makes it feel heartier.

If you meal prep, bake a double batch in a larger ceramic dish, then slice or shred the chicken and store it with the salsa for quick tacos, burrito bowls, or stuffed baked potatoes throughout the week.
