Method

1. Pound the chicken breasts to 1/2 inch 1 cm thick and divide into portions, if needed

4. Top the chicken with the cheese, turn the heat down to medium-low, cover the skillet, and let the whole thing cook for another 3 to 4 minutes or until the cheese is melted
5. While the cheese is melting, put the salsa in a microwaveable dish and cook it for a minute at 50 percent power
6. Remove the chicken to serving plates, top with the salsa, and serve
7. You could add a dollop of sour cream if you like or maybe some chopped fresh cilantro, but its not really necessary
