Ingredients
COPY INGREDIENTS
1 (14.5 ounce) can Red Gold® Petite Diced Tomatoes with Green Chilies 14.5 oz, drained well8 tablespoons frozen corn, thawed8 tablespoons green onions, sliced8 tablespoons red bell pepper, diced1 1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into 1" cubes2 tablespoons taco seasoning, can use low sodium or regular2 cups rice, cooked according to package directions1 cup processed cheese product, cut into small cubes
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees F or grill on high.
- For each foil packet, have 4 foil pieces 16-18" in length.
- In a medium bowl, combine the drained diced tomatoes, corn, green onion, and bell pepper, set aside.
- Combine the diced chicken with the taco seasoning and evenly coat the chicken.
- To build the packets: place 1/2 cup of the cooked rice on the bottom half of the foil sheet. Place a rounded 1/2 cup of the seasoned chicken on top of the rice. Place a rounded 1/3 cup of the vegetable mixture on top of the chicken. Add 1/4 cup of the cubed cheese.
- Fold the foil over and double roll the edges to form a tight seal. This is important to ensure the packets will not leak. Repeat for the other 3 packets. Place packets onto a foil lined baking sheet and bake for 30 minutes. If grilling, place directly on grill grate. Check the chicken temperature after 30 minutes, fully cooked chicken should read 165 degrees F.
- Very carefully open the foil packets using scissors or a knife, there will be hot steam that will escape as you open them. You can eat right from the packet or spoon contents onto a plate.
