Well this is a fun and easy dinner if I've ever seen one. It's basically a fajita in a foil pack, minus the tortilla. It's super fast to put together and is ready in less than 30 minutes. You can do that on a weeknight, right? I've been absolutely loving my peds rotation (pretty sure it's what I'll end up doing :), but the hours can get a bit long. I usually come home right around dinner time and hustle to try to get something together. This is an easy one for THOSE types of days.
I'm willing to bet you could assemble the packets in the morning and keep them in the fridge until after work or school. Just serve with a side salad and call it a dinner!
Foil Packet Salsa Chicken
1 1/2 cups instant brown rice, uncooked
1 1/2 cup water
1 Tbsp taco seasoning mix
4 small chicken breasts
1 each green and red pepper, cut into strips
1/2 cup salsa
Shredded cheese and sour cream, for topping
Heat oven to 400 degrees. In a microwaveable bowl, combine rice, water and taco seasoning, Microwave about 7 minutes, just to get the rice cooking. Spoon rice evenly onto 4 greased pieces of tin foil. Top rice with chicken, then peppers, then salsa. Fold long sides of packets up and roll down, then roll the sides in to create a seal.
Bake 25-30 minutes or until chicken is cooked (be careful, there will be a lot of steam when you check!) Let cool 5 minutes, then serve in the foil (on a plate) or slide out onto a plate. Top with cheese and sour cream, as desired.
