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. This is a recipe that my mom made for us growing up. Just toss everything in the foil and when you are done toss the foil and mess into the trash. Foil dinner recipes are some of my favorite.
How to make Santa Fe Chicken Foil Packets
Start by preheating your oven to 375 degrees.
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.
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.
Place each foil back in a casserole dish together. I used a 9×13 casserole dish and was able to place all 4 chicken in one dish with room to spare.
Now add the remaining ingredients. Evenly add Rotel, corn, and black beans into each foil packet. Top each foil pack with shredded cheese.
- Tip: I bring the foil together at the top but do not seal completely.
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.
Serving Options:
I love making this recipe for dinner. We serve it with chips and salsa or over rice. Here are a few of my favorite recipes that pair perfectly.
