How to Make Salsa Verde Chicken

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Lightly spray a baking dish with nonstick spray.
Generously season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
In a skillet over medium-high heat, warm the olive oil. Sear each chicken breast for about 5 minutes on each side.
Transfer the seared chicken to the prepared baking dish. Top generously with salsa verde and cover the dish with foil. Bake for 25-30 minutes.
Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before garnishing with lime juice and chopped cilantro. Serve hot.
