Instructions: How to Cook Bonanza Chicken Monterey

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Season the chicken breasts with cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper.
In a skillet, heat some oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, until browned.
Transfer the chicken to a baking dish.
In a bowl, mix together the salsa, sour cream, and cilantro. Pour the mixture over the chicken.
Sprinkle the shredded Monterey Jack cheese on top of the chicken.
Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the foil and broil for an additional 2-3 minutes to brown the cheese slightly.
