Equipment
Ingredients
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- ½ cup Mexican cheese shredded
- 2 cups sweet corn
- 15 oz black beans drained and rinsed
- 10 oz Rotel drained
- 1 tablespoon seasoning of choice
- Cilantro, jalapenos, and tomatoes, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the grill to medium heat.
- Cut four large sheets of heavy-duty foil and lightly spray each with cooking spray.
- Place one boneless skinless chicken breast onto each sheet of foil and season both sides.
- Divide the Rotel, black beans, and corn evenly among the packets.
- Fold and seal the foil packets. Place them on the grill, vegetable side down, and cook for 10 minutes.
- Carefully flip the packets and continue cooking for 10-15 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
- Remove the foil packets from the grill and carefully open them. Sprinkle with cheese and add any desired garnishes before serving.
Notes
- Oven Instructions: Bake the foil packets at 400°F for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
- Chicken Option: Chicken thighs can be used in place of chicken breasts but may require additional cooking time.
- Foil Tip: Heavy-duty foil works best and helps keep the packets sealed while cooking.
- Optional Add-Ins: Bell peppers, onions, zucchini, broccoli, and carrots are great additions.
- Parchment Paper: If desired, place a sheet of parchment paper between the food and foil before sealing the packets.
