Ingredients
- •Chicken Breast, Boneless Skinless(680g)
Boneless skinless. Buy in bulk and freeze — Costco rotisserie packs work too.
- •Bell Pepper
- •Yellow Onion
- •Zucchini
- •Lime Juice, Fresh(45g)
- •Chili powder(30g)
- •Cumin, Ground(10g)
- •Garlic powder(10g)
- •1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
- •Onion powder(5g)
- •Cayenne Pepper, Ground(1g)
Instructions
- 1Preheat the grill to medium/medium high (about 450° F). Place the chicken, bell peppers, onion, and zucchini in a large bowl. Top with the lime juice, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, onion powder, and cayenne. Toss to coat.
- 2Lay 6 large pieces of heavy-duty foil on the counter (if not using heavy duty, use two pieces of regular foil stacked on top of each other for each packet). Generously coat the foil with nonstick spray. Divide the chicken and vegetables among the 6 pieces of foil, then wrap them to form packets: bring up 2 sides of the foil so the edges meet. Seal the edges, making a tight 1/2-inch fold, then fold again, allowing space for heat to circulate. Fold in the ends to seal.
- 3Grill for 8 to 12 minutes, until the chicken is no longer pink in the center and the vegetables are crisp-tender. Carefully open the foil and allow steam to escape. Serve warm with tortillas and desired toppings.
