This is one of those dishes that is so impressive and tastes
like you spent all day making it, but really it takes no take to get in the
oven.
You can make your own Pico de gallo or buy it if you need to
save time. Pico de gallo is also called Salsa Fresca and is a fresh tomato
salsa made from chopped tomatoes, onions, cilantro, fresh jalapeño, salt, and
lime juice.

Instructions:
- To make the salsa Fresca chicken bake: Preheat the oven to 400˚F (200ºC). Chop chicken breasts into small pieces. In a salad bowl, combine tomato, onion, jalapeño, cilantro and lime juice with 1/4 teaspoon salt.
- Arrange the chicken pieces flat in a large baking dish and season evenly with cumin, garlic, red chili pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Give a quick stir to combine chicken evenly with seasoning. Cover chicken pieces with the diced tomatoes, onion, and jalapeño, then top with shredded mozzarella.
