Chicken Fajita Foil Packet Recipe

Recently, I read that foil packet recipes was trending.  So I decided to investigate and find out what this type of recipe this was and what it required.  Surprisingly, I have to say i was pleased to find they are individually wrapped servings.  Although, what I made held 2 servings in each packet.  Fortunately, we had plenty of leftovers!   We enjoyed this easy dinner recipe and hope you do too!

Chicken Fajita Foil Packet Recipe

Ingredients

• 4 Boneless Chicken Breast, trimmed and sliced
• 1 cup White Rice *I used Jasmine Rice
• 2 cups Water
• 1/4 cup Chopped Fresh Cilantro
• Black Pepper, to taste
• 1 tbsp Fresh Lime Juice
• 1 packet Fajita Seasoning Mix
• 1 Red Pepper, sliced
• 1 Yellow Pepper, sliced
• 1 Orange Pepper, sliced
• 1/2 Onion, sliced
• 2 tbsp Olive Oil
• 1 can Black Beans, rinsed
• 1 can Diced Tomatoes with Green Chiles
• 8 Tortillas
• 1/2 cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese
• 1 Avocado, diced

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. 

  Place 4 pieces of foil on a large baking dish.  Be sure to make them 6-8 inches wide spray with non-stick cooking spray.
• Combine rice and water in a bowl.  Cook in the microwave according to directions.  Once cooked add lime juice, pepper (to taste) and cilantro.  Set aside.
  
• Slice all peppers, onions and chicken.  Once everything is prepped place in a bowl with olive oil and fajita seasonings.  Combine until thoroughly coated.
  
• Layer the ingredients on the tin foil in equal parts.  Place rice on the bottom, chicken/pepper mixture on top, black beans on either side. 
  
• Fold up the sides and seal the top so they look like "packets".   Bake for 35-40 minutes and serve tortillas, shredded cheese and sour cream if desired!
