There’s more to Mexican cuisine than tacos and burritos. This baked chicken dish has all of that delicious, spicy flavor without the tortilla.

2. In a small bowl, combine mesquite seasoning, chili powder, 1 T. olive oil and mix well. Lightly brush the seasoned chili oil on both sides of the chicken breast and place on top of vegetables. Squeeze lime juice over chicken.

3. Place the casserole dish in oven and roast for 25-30 minutes, until chicken is cooked thoroughly with an internal temperature of 165⁰F.

4. Remove from oven and top with chopped cilantro.
