For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in the salsa for at least 30 minutes before baking. Try using Monterey Jack or a Mexican cheese blend instead of Cheddar for a different flavor profile. Add a can of drained and rinsed black beans or corn to the salsa for added texture and nutrients. Garnish with chopped cilantro or green onions for a fresh, vibrant finish. Serve with Spanish rice, Mexican-style corn, or a simple side salad.
