Ingredients

• 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons Taco seasoning
• 1 cup Black beans (canned, drained and rinsed)
• 1 cup Corn kernels (frozen or canned, drained)
• 1 medium (diced) Red bell pepper
• 1 medium (chopped) Zucchini
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 cup Shredded Mexican blend cheese
• 2 tablespoons Chopped cilantro (optional for garnish)
• 4 pieces Lime wedges
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 4 sheets (about 12x18 inches each) Aluminum foil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Lay out 4 large sheets of aluminum foil on a clean work surface.

Step 3

Place one chicken breast in the center of each foil sheet.

Step 4

Season each chicken breast with 1/2 tablespoon of taco seasoning.

Step 5

In a large bowl, combine black beans, corn, red bell pepper, zucchini, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.

Step 6

Divide the veggie mixture evenly among the four foil packs, arranging it around the chicken breasts.

Step 7

Fold the sides of each foil sheet over the chicken and vegetables, sealing the packets completely to trap steam and flavors.

Step 8

Place the foil packets on a baking sheet and transfer to the preheated oven.

Step 9

Bake for 25 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and is fully cooked.

Step 10

Carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the foil packs cool slightly before opening—they will release hot steam.

Step 11

Open each packet and sprinkle shredded Mexican blend cheese on top of the chicken and veggies.

Step 12

Let the packets sit for 2-3 minutes until the cheese melts.

Step 13

Garnish with chopped cilantro if desired and serve with lime wedges on the side.
