Chicken Fajita Foil Packets
Tender, spiced chicken and vibrant bell peppers cooked until wonderfully juicy inside a simple foil packet. A healthy, zero-cleanup dinner perfect for busy weeknights, grilling, or camping!
Ingredients
- 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts sliced thin
- 3 bell peppers red, yellow, and green, sliced
- 1 medium onion sliced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- Juice of 1 lime
- Fresh cilantro chopped (optional)
- Warm tortillas for serving
Instructions
- Preheat the Heat Source: Preheat your grill or oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the sliced chicken, bell peppers, and onion.
- Season the Mix: Drizzle the mixture with olive oil and fresh lime juice. Add the chili powder, paprika, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Toss until everything is evenly coated.
- Divide: Divide the seasoned mixture evenly among 4 large sheets of heavy-duty aluminum foil.
- Seal the Foil: Fold the foil tightly into sealed packets by bringing the long edges together, folding them over twice, and tightly crimping the ends.
- Cook: Grill or bake for 20–25 minutes, until the chicken is fully cooked and the vegetables are tender.
- Serve: Carefully open the packets, garnish with chopped cilantro if desired, and serve immediately with warm tortillas.
Notes
Please open these packets carefully and away from your face! The trapped steam inside is incredibly hot and can easily cause burns if you rip the foil open too aggressively.
