Foil Pack Chicken Fajita Dinner Recipes

EASY CHICKEN FAJITA FOIL PACKETS

Steps:

• Prepare a grill to medium-high heat or set the oven temperature to 400°F.
• In a small bowl, mix the chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, ground coriander, paprika, kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Sprinkle half of the seasoning on both sides of the chicken breasts and set aside.
• In a large bowl, add the cut vegetables with the drained black beans. Toss with the remaining seasoning. Set aside.
• Tear off a few lengths of aluminum foil in 12- to 14-inch pieces. Place 1/3 of the seasoned vegetables in the center of the foil and top with a seasoned chicken breast. Sprinkle the chicken breasts with more paprika for color, if desired.
• Fold the two long edges toward one another, then over once or twice and crimp tightly. Fold and crimp each short end of the foil toward the middle so that the edges are tightly sealed.
• If cooking on the grill, place the packets vegetable side down, close the lid and cook for 5 minutes, then turn to the seam side down and cook for 20 more minutes or until chicken is cooked through.
• If cooking in the oven, place the packets chicken side down and cook for 25 minutes or until chicken is cooked through.
• Let the packets rest for 5 minutes before serving with lime wedges and jalapeños if desired.

FOIL-PACKET CHICKEN FAJITAS

Steps:

• Place a baking sheet in the oven and preheat to 400 degrees F. Tear off four 12-by-18-inch pieces of heavy-duty aluminum foil and set aside.
• Toss the chicken with the onion and bell peppers in a large bowl.
• Whisk together the fajita seasoning, oil, adobo sauce, cumin and lime juice in a separate small bowl. Pour over the chicken mixture and toss gently with tongs to coat evenly.
• Divide the chicken and vegetable mixture among the 4 sheets of foil. Bring up two short sides to meet and fold over a few times to close tightly, then fold the remaining sides in and up to seal the packet completely. Repeat with the remaining foil packets.
• Carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven, place the packets on in a single layer and return to the oven until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables have softened slightly, 15 to 18 minutes.
• Warm the tortillas by wrapping them in a clean kitchen towel and microwaving until warm, about 40 seconds. Serve the fajitas with the tortillas, rice and toppings of your choice.
