One of my favorite things I do with chicken is to brown some (4) chicken breast halves in a large skillet with a little oil; doesn't have to be done, just browned on both sides. Then I pour over the chicken a big jar of salsa (or more, depending on the day) to the skillet. Bring to a boil. Cover. Reduce heat and let simmer about 10 min. Top each breast with a slice or two of cheese (I prefer Pepper-Jack here, but Cheddar is also nice). Sprinkle with some chopped cilantro. Cover. Remove skillet from heat and let set about 3 min. to melt the cheese. Serve with tortilla chips to scoop up the leftover salsa.
I usually serve mexi-corn from a bag or can as a side to this, but when I've had to serve children who don't like corn, I simply stir a can of drained corn into the salsa before pouring it over the chicken in the skillet, and then it's a one skillet meal and the kids get the extra veggies. A salad would be a nice side for adults also. You could even top each salad serving with mexi-corn.
