Directions: |
Directions:Pull off 4 sheets of heavy-duty tin foil (8-10 inches) and layer to create 2 packets. Lightly mist with cooking spray.
Stir together the corn, black beans, and taco seasoning. Divide between the 2 foil packets. Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Place 1 chicken breast or 2 chicken tenders in each packet. Top the chicken with salsa and shredded cheese.
Bring the two longer edges of the foil together above the food. Fold the edges down twice, creating the top seal. Press the side edges together and fold, creating a secure packet.
Cook on a gas grill or in the oven at 375 degree oven for 30 to 45 minutes until chicken is cooked through. (*See notes for cooking on a grill.)
Top with fresh cilantro, sour cream, and avocado before serving.
Recipe Notes
*If cooking on a GRILL make sure to carefully turn the packet once, about halfway through the cook time to ensure even cooking. |
