CHICKEN FAJITA FOIL PACKETS
What I love about these Chicken Fajita Foil Packets is that they are so easy to prep ahead. You can slice up the chicken, peppers and onions, and mix them up with the seasoning and then let them sit — in a container or in their foil packets — in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
Recipes like this are perfect for camping, when you’re not going to want to spend a lot of time on meal prep, and those busy days where you’re running from the park to the beach to the grocery store for a refill on popsicles. You can have them ready and waiting, and when 5:00 hits you can fire up the grill and serve with some warm flour tortillas or rice.
Ingredients
2 boneless skinless chicken breasts, thinly sliced
1 sweet bell pepper red or orange, sliced
1 green bell pepper sliced
1/2 large red onion thinly sliced
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon cumin
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon paprika
Tortillas
guacamole, sour cream, and salsa for serving as desired
Instructions
Preheat the grill to roughly 400 degrees F (medium high)
Place all ingredients (chicken through paprika) in a large bowl. Stir to combine well, until everything is evenly coated.
Place two pieces of tin foil one on top of the other. Spray lightly with non stick spray, and spoon 1/4 of the fajita mixture in the center. Repeat 3 times with the remaining fajita mixture to make 4 packets.
Fold and seal the tin foil and place over direct heat on the grill. Cook for 12-15 minutes (for even cooking, rotate once halfway through) until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F.
Serve with tortillas and toppings as desired.
