Easy Dinner and Easy Clean up:
I love a good homecooked meal but I hate doing all the dishes after. These Santa Fe Chicken Foil Packets are so simple to make and the clean up is a breeze.

How to make Santa Fe Chicken Foil Packets:
Foil Packet meals have become a regular thing in our house. I love throwing all my ingredients into one thing, than cooking it. whether it’s a one pot dish or a foil dish, it is easy cleanup and less dishes! Throw your ingredients into the foil pack and roll!
Ingredient Notes:
- Chicken Breasts (boneless and skinless
- Cumin
- Onion Powder
- Garlic Powder
- Rotel (drained well)
- Corn (drained well)
- Black Beans (drained and rinsed well)
- Colby Jack Cheese (shredded)
Directions:
Step one: Start by preheating your oven to 375 degrees.
Step two: Next prepare your chicken. I seasoned my chicken with cumin, onion, powder, and garlic powder.
- Tip: If you don’t have these seasonings you could also use a taco seasoning.
Step three: Once your chicken breast is seasoned you can place each chicken it separate pieces of foil. You want to roll up the sides so when you add the rest of the ingredients everything doesn’t spill out.
Baking Instructions:
Bake for 30-35 minutes until chicken is cooked through. You chicken is done when the internal temperature is at least 165 degrees.
Grilling Instructions:
Preheat your grill on medium/high heat. Prepare foil packets according to instructions then place foil packers directly on your grill. Allow to cook for 20-25 minutes or until chicken is cooked through and at a safe temperature.
How to make a foil pack?
When assembling you want to make sure that your food is sealed inside the foil. Lay out a piece of foil and place the food down the middle. Fold each side over so they touch and can seal. Then fold your end towards the middle to seal.
