Mexican Chicken Packets

I am about to share with you the easiest recipe for chicken. Super easy to put together and clean up. This is a must have for your dinner table!

Mexican Chicken Packet
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (I pounded my down so they weren't super think)
Salt and pepper- to taste
1 can Rotel Mild- drained with juices reserved
1 can black beans- rinsed (you could use any beans you like here)
2 fresh ears of corn- cleaned of husk and silk, remove the kernel from the stock
1 tsp fresh cilantro (optional)
1/2 round of Queso Fresco- crumbled
1/2 c shredded cheese
Avocado- sliced
4 squares of heavy foil

Drained Rotel, Rinsed Black Beans, Fresh corn

Putting the packet together

On a cookie sheet "baking" on the grill

  1. Heat the oven or the grill to 350 degrees.
  2. Clean and pound your chicken to a consistent thickness.
  3. Place one chicken breast on each square of foil.
  4. Salt and pepper each chicken
  5. Spoon rotel, beans and corn over each chicken.
  6. Close up the packets.
  7. ***This is where you can decide if you want to put it on the grill or the oven. We used the grill so we didn't have to heat the house.***
  8. Bake for about 20 minutes. After 20 minutes peek in one packet to see if the chicken is done.
  9. Add cheese to each packet and melt before serving.
Now enjoy! Dig in! Serve it over rice, in tortillas, with crumbled chips.

Its done-- add the cheese

Queso Fresco
