Remove the baking dish from the oven and sprinkle the shredded Cheddar cheese evenly over the chicken breasts. Return to the oven and continue baking until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the chicken is cooked through, about 10 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the chicken should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). (10 minutes)

Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh cilantro or a dollop of sour cream, if desired.
For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a can of drained and rinsed black beans or corn to the sour cream and salsa mixture.
If you're short on time, you can use pre-shredded cheese or prepared salsa.
To prevent the chicken from drying out, consider using a meat thermometer to ensure it's cooked to the perfect internal temperature.
Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese, such as Monterey Jack, Pepper Jack, or a Mexican cheese blend.
