Taco Tuesday in a foil pack in the oven - this salsa verde chicken is mouthwateringly delicious!
I tried quite a few foil packet recipes last summer because I really love Hobo Dinner and make it frequently and wanted to expand our horizons. This chicken recipe is probably my absolute favorite chicken foil pack recipe I have made so far. I am basically game for anything with rice, black beans, corn, cilantro, and lime at this point.

- Divide rice between 4 foil squares that have been sprayed with nonstick cooking spray.
- Top each with a piece of chicken.

- Split the corn and beans between the four packets and add red bell pepper to each as well.
- Seal the packets and bake in a preheated 400 degree oven for 30 to 50 minutes or until chicken has cooked through completely.
