Ingredients
- 4 chicken breasts (2-3 pounds of chicken total)
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 15 ounce can of black beans drained and rinsed
- 2 cups corn (fresh or frozen)
- 1 medium bell pepper (any color) seeded and diced
- 3/4 cup salsa
- 1/2 cup shredded Monterey jack cheese (or Mexican blend)
Instructions
- Preheat the grill to 350F (medium on gas grills).
- Cut 4 large rectangles of foil. Spray each with non-stick cooking spray. Place one chicken bread on each piece of foil.
- In a small bowl, combine the chili powder, salt, and pepper. Sprinkle the seasoning mixture on both sides of each chicken breast.
- Top the chicken breasts with a generous amount of black beans, corn, and diced bell pepper, then spoon the salsa over top.
- Fold the foil in half over the chicken and vegetables. Twist the edges of the foil to create a completely closed packet.
- Grill the chicken foil packets over medium heat for 10 minutes, then flip and grill for another 10 minutes until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165F.
- Allow the chicken packets to cool on a large baking sheet for 5 minutes, then carefully cut them open and serve.
