Chicken Fajitas is a popular Mexican-inspired dish that is loved worldwide for its delicious and vibrant flavors. Originating from the northern regions of Mexico, fajitas were traditionally made with grilled strips of marinated beef skirt steak. However, over time, the recipe has evolved to include a variety of proteins, including chicken. Chicken Fajitas Foil Packets are a convenient and easy way to enjoy this flavorful dish, perfect for a quick weeknight meal or for a fun outdoor gathering.
This dish can be served in a variety of ways to enhance the overall dining experience. Alongside the foil packets, you can serve warm flour tortillas or corn tortillas for guests to assemble their own fajitas. They can be eaten straight from the packet without the carbs of the tortillas as well. For toppings, offer a selection of sliced avocado, shredded cheese, diced tomatoes, salsa, sour cream, and fresh cilantro. Traditional Mexican rice and refried beans make excellent side dishes, providing a complete and satisfying meal.

Chicken Fajitas Foil Packets
Ingredients:
- 1.5 sliced boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 3 bell peppers of different colors, sliced
- 1 onion, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4-6 tablespoons fajita seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat or preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. In a large bowl, combine the sliced chicken, bell peppers, onion, olive oil, fajita seasoning, salt, and pepper. Toss until the chicken and vegetables are evenly coated.
3. Tear off four large sheets of heavy-duty aluminum foil, approximately 12x12 inches each.
4. Divide the chicken and vegetable mixture equally among the foil sheets, placing it in the center of each sheet.
5. Fold the long sides of the foil sheets together and fold over multiple times to create a sealed packet. Fold in the ends of the foil to completely enclose the ingredients, ensuring no steam or juices can escape during cooking.
6. Place the foil packets on the grill grates or on a baking sheet in the oven. Cook for approximately 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.
7. Carefully open the foil packets, being cautious of the hot steam. Serve the chicken fajitas directly from the foil packets or transfer to a platter.
8. Serve the Chicken Fajitas Foil Packets alongside warm tortillas and an array of delicious toppings and sides such as avocado slices, shredded cheese, diced tomatoes, salsa, sour cream, fresh cilantro, Mexican rice, and refried beans.
