Chicken Ole Foil Supper Recipe
Ingredients:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup salsa
- 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 cup frozen corn
- 1 bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup shredded Mexican blend cheese
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Chopped fresh cilantro (for garnish)
- Lime wedges (for serving)
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven or grill: If using an oven, preheat it to 400°F (200°C). If grilling, heat the grill to medium-high.
- Prepare the foil packets: Tear off 4 large sheets of aluminum foil. Lightly coat each sheet with olive oil to prevent sticking.
- Assemble the ingredients: Place one chicken breast in the center of each foil sheet. Season the chicken with cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Top each chicken breast with 2 tablespoons of salsa, a few bell pepper slices, 1/4 cup of black beans, and 1/4 cup of corn.
- Seal the packets: Fold the sides of the foil over the chicken and toppings, sealing the packets tightly so that no steam escapes during cooking.
- Cook the foil packets: Place the foil packets on a baking sheet (if using the oven) or directly on the grill. Cook for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) and is cooked through.
- Add the cheese: Carefully open each foil packet and sprinkle shredded cheese over the top of the chicken. Close the foil loosely and let it sit for a few minutes to allow the cheese to melt.
- Serve: Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve with lime wedges. You can also add sour cream, avocado, or tortilla chips on the side for extra flavor.
Enjoy your Chicken Ole Foil Supper, an easy and delicious meal packed with Tex-Mex goodness!
