This Foil Packet Southwestern Chicken is a quick, healthy meal that isn’t time-consuming to prepare and easy to clean up! Very easy to make!
Delicious! You can make this family-sized instead of individual portions. Line a casserole dish with tinfoil, and layer the ingredients as directed and then cover with tinfoil.
This dish was really good! My family loved it and I will definitely make it again!
To prevent the rice from sticking to the foil, spray foil with cooking spray before using it.
