- In a mixing bowl, combine the salsa, lime juice, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.

- Starting from one end, roll up each chicken breast tightly and secure with toothpicks or kitchen twine.
- Place the chicken roll ups in a baking dish and pour any remaining salsa mixture over the top.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
