What You Need

1-1/2 cups instant white rice, uncooked

1-1/2 cups hot water

1 Tbsp. taco seasoning mix

4 small boneless skinless chicken breasts (1 lb./450 g)

1 each green and red pepper, cut into strips

1/2 cup salsa

1/2 cup Kraft Tex Mex Shredded Cheese

Make It

HEAT oven to 400ºF.

FOLD up all sides of each of 4 large sheets of heavy-duty foil to form 1-inch rim; spray foil with cooking spray. Combine rice, water and seasoning mix; spoon onto centres of foil. Top with remaining ingredients.

BRING up foil sides. Double-fold top and ends to seal each packet, leaving room for heat circulation inside. Place in 15x10x3/4-inch pan.

BAKE 30 to 35 min. or until chicken is done (170ºF). Let stand 5 min. Cut slits in foil to release steam before opening packets.

It was a hit with my student though I substitute the taco and salsa with chicken seasoning and chili sauce. Yum!

I think the chicken needs more seasonings; I will add some garlic powder for sure. I used leftover rice to use as the bed of rice and it saved me even some more time. We added the grated cheese on our plates at the table. Nice easy recipe with the potiental for even more flavor with a bit of tweeking.

My family LOVES this recipe...the only thing that I changed is to rub the chicken with the taco seasoning mix to add some extra flavour. The chicken turns out so tender. It's a definite favorite and my kids ask me to make it every week.

These foil dinners are amazing and so good. I wished I had used these recipes years ago. It is so easy to make and clean up takes minutes. I hope more foil dinners are in the making cause every recipe I've tried so far is FANTASTIC!!!!

The foil package is great! Hardly any clean up and fun to make. Now I am searching for other foil meals.

This was very easy to make. Prepared and baked it in the morning before going to work. I added extra taco seasoning, as well as lightly seasoned the chicken. My family loved it. The best part for me was that I literally had no clean-up.
