Method
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Spray a 9x13-inch glass baking dish with nonstick spray. Arrange the chicken breasts evenly in the dish.
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the chorizo for 7-8 minutes until browned, breaking it up with a spoon.
- Add the drained tomatoes, cream cheese, and sour cream to the skillet. Stir until the cream cheese is melted and the mixture is well combined.
- Spread the chorizo mixture evenly over the chicken breasts. Sprinkle the cotija cheese on top.
- Bake uncovered for about 45 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce is bubbly. The pan juices can be served over rice, or slice the chicken and serve in tortillas.
💡 Tips
- If using large chicken breasts, you may need to add 5-10 minutes of baking time.
- Cotija cheese is salty, so no extra salt is needed.
- Serve with rice, tortillas, or a side salad to complete the meal.
