Santa Fe Chicken Foil Packets
There is literally no recipe I have ever cooked that’s easier than Santa Fe Chicken. All you have to do is season chicken breasts, place them on top of a piece of foil, spoon veggies and salsa over them and place them on the grill or the oven.
Ingredients
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 -15 oz can black beans drained and rinsed
- 1 -15 oz can whole kernel corn
- 1 cup sliced bell pepper ½ green, ½ yellow or orange
- ¾ cup chunky salsa
- ½ cup cheddar cheese freshly grated
- Cilantro sliced jalapenos and tomatoes for garnish
Instructions
- Season each breast with salt, pepper, chili powder, ground cumin, and coriander on both sides, and place each one in the middle of a large piece of foil previously sprayed with cooking spray.
- Spoon the veggies and salsa around the chicken breasts
- Fold the foil by bringing two opposite sides together and folding them about 3-4 times and then fold the remaining foil down to tuck beneath the packet like so:
- Place on the hot grill veggies side down for 15 mins, flip and cook for another 10-15 mins on the other side.
- Remove them from the grill, open the packets and divide the shredded cheddar evenly on top of the 4 chicken breasts. Return to the grill (packets open) and cook just until the cheese melts.
