Week 5: Recipe #4--Taco Chicken Foil Dinner

I found this recipe online (see link below).  I made it the other night for the first time.  It was so easy and it tasted GREAT!  Wouldn't change a thing.  I served it with refried beans and fruit.


You'll Need:

  • 4 small boneless chicken breast halves
  • 4 tsp. taco seasoning
  • 2 cups thinly sliced peeled potatoes
  • ½ cup Monterey Jack cheese
  • ½ cup Cheddar cheese
  • ½ cup salsa
  • sour cream

Preparation:

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. 
  2. Sprinkle chicken evenly with seasoning mix. 
  3. Place ½ cup of the potatoes on center of each of four large sheets of heavy-duty foil and season them with salt and pepper.  Top each with 1 chicken breast, a fourth of the cheese mixture and 2 tablespoons of the salsa.
  4. Bring up foil sides. Double fold top and both ends to seal each packet, leaving room for heat circulation inside. Place in single layer in 15x10x1 baking pan.  (I just did my best to try and squeeze them on a large cookie sheet)
  5. Bake 30-35 minutes or until chicken is cooked through and potatoes are tender. Remove packets from oven. Let stand 5 minutes. Place one packet on each of four dinner plates. Cut slits in foil with sharp knife to release steam before opening. Top each serving with sour cream.
