Best 5 Foil Packet Chicken Fajitas Recipes

EASY CHICKEN FAJITA FOIL PACKETS

Steps:

• Prepare a grill to medium-high heat or set the oven temperature to 400°F.
• In a small bowl, mix the chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, ground coriander, paprika, kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Sprinkle half of the seasoning on both sides of the chicken breasts and set aside.
• In a large bowl, add the cut vegetables with the drained black beans. Toss with the remaining seasoning. Set aside.
• Tear off a few lengths of aluminum foil in 12- to 14-inch pieces. Place 1/3 of the seasoned vegetables in the center of the foil and top with a seasoned chicken breast. Sprinkle the chicken breasts with more paprika for color, if desired.
• Fold the two long edges toward one another, then over once or twice and crimp tightly. Fold and crimp each short end of the foil toward the middle so that the edges are tightly sealed.
• If cooking on the grill, place the packets vegetable side down, close the lid and cook for 5 minutes, then turn to the seam side down and cook for 20 more minutes or until chicken is cooked through.
• If cooking in the oven, place the packets chicken side down and cook for 25 minutes or until chicken is cooked through.
• Let the packets rest for 5 minutes before serving with lime wedges and jalapeños if desired.

GRILLED CHICKEN FAJITAS IN FOIL

Steps:

• Preheat the grill to medium/medium high (about 450 degrees F). Place the chicken, bell peppers, onion, and zucchini in a large bowl. Top with the lime juice, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, onion powder, and cayenne. Toss to coat.
• Lay 6 large pieces of heavy-duty foil on the counter (if not using heavy duty, use two pieces of regular foil stacked on top of each other for each packet). Generously coat the foil with nonstick spray. Divide the chicken and vegetables among the 6 pieces of foil, then wrap them to form packets: bring up 2 sides of the foil so the edges meet. Seal the edges, making a tight 1/2-inch fold, then fold again, allowing space for heat to circulate. Fold in the ends to seal.
• Grill for 8 to 12 minutes, until the chicken is no longer pink in the center and the vegetables are crisp-tender. Carefully open the foil and allow steam to escape. Serve warm with tortillas and desired toppings.
