½ cup finely diced red onion
2 tablespoons chopped chives

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 425℉. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper. Set aside.
In a mixing bowl, combine the chili lime seasoning, onion and garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Add the oil and stir until well blended.
Add the chicken to the seasoning mixture and toss to coat evenly.
Transfer the chicken to the prepared pan. Bake until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165℉. This will take 10-15 minutes depending on the thickness of the chicken.

Spoon the salsa over the chicken and serve.

Notes

Cooking methods: The chicken can be grilled or seared in a skillet on the stovetop and finished in the oven. Always make sure the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F. Use an instant-read thermometer to check the temperature.

Salsa variations: Add jalapeño to the salsa or swap pineapple, peaches, or strawberries for the mango.

Chicken variations: Use blackened seasoning for an extra spicy kick.

Storage: Store the salsa for up to 2 days in the refrigerator. Store the chicken separately for up to four days.
