Ingredients
- 1 pound thinly sliced boneless skinless chicken breasts about 2 whole breasts
- 1 cup sliced yellow, red, or orange bell pepper about 1 whole pepper
- 1 cup sliced green bell pepper about 1 whole pepper
- ½½ cup Thinly sliced red onion about ½ an onion
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon paprika
- 6-8 flour fajita tortillas
Instructions
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
- Place 1 pound thinly sliced boneless skinless chicken breasts, 1 cup sliced yellow, red, or orange bell pepper, 1 cup sliced green bell pepper, ½½ cup thinly sliced red onion, 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, 2 teaspoons chili powder, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, ¾ teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper, ¼ teaspoon onion powder, and ¼ teaspoon paprika in a large bowl and toss until evenly combined.
- Make the foil packets by layering 2 sheets of aluminum foil, spraying the top layer lightly with nonstick cooking spray. Repeat until you have four sets of foil.
- Divide the chicken mixture evenly between the 4 sets of foil. Fold over the tops and tightly fold up the sides to contain the fajita mixture inside.
- Place the packets on the grill directly over the heat and cook for 12-15 minutes, until the chicken is completely cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Serve the packets with 6-8 flour fajita tortillas and your desired toppings on the side.
