What You Need

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

4 tsp. taco seasoning mix

1/2 lb. (225 g) red potatoes (about 2), peeled, thinly sliced

1 cup Kraft Tex Mex Shredded Cheese

1/2 cup salsa

1/4 cup sour cream

Make It

HEAT oven to 400°F.

SPRINKLE chicken with seasoning mix. Place 1/4 of the potatoes on centre of each of 4 large sheets of heavy-duty foil; top with chicken, cheese and salsa.

FOLD foil to make 4 packets, leaving room for heat circulation inside. Place on baking sheet.

BAKE 30 to 35 min. or until chicken is done (170°F). Cool 5 min. Cut slits in foil to release steam before opening packets. Top with sour cream.

Easy Cleanup

Because the cooking is done in the foil packets, there's little to clean up.

Make Ahead

Assemble packets as directed. Refrigerate up to 4 hours, then bake as directed, increasing the baking time to 40 min.

Note

To prevent potatoes from sticking to the foil, spray foil with cooking spray before using. Or, use nonstick foil.

I have made this many times and the family loves it. I leave out the potatoes and serve it with rice. The juice in the foil package is wonderful over the rice.

I made this meal on Wednesday evening. I make foil-pack dinners regularly. They are easy, and you can make them earlier in the day and put them in the oven when you're ready for supper. Nice for busy days.

I made this using fajita seasoning (I didn't have any taco seasoning on hand) and I added some very thinly sliced onions and in mine I added some thinly slices green peppers as well. I par boiled the potatoes a bit (in water in the microwave for 5 mins)before putting them in and it came out perfectly! It was delicious! We also loved that you can individulize what goes into each packet according to each person's taste.

I made this for dinner tonight .. However I did not use taco seasoning , I marinated the chicken with salt and pepper and 2 Tablespoons olive oil for 2 hrs , When ready to bake I topped with salsa and then cheese . This was a hit everyone loved it , the chicken was very moist and cooked to perfection . I did not use any potatoes as my side dish was a spanish rice .

i'd 'half cook' the potatoes using some method before hand.

This was tasty but I found the potatoes to be a little undercooked and the chicken was dry(I used boneless-skinless pieces)and only cooked for 45 mins.

Made this twice and it always turns out very watery with not much flavour to the chicken. What am I doing wrong?
