Chicken Fajita Foil Packet Recipe
Ingredients
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts, thinly sliced
- 2 bell peppers preferably different colors, sliced
- 1 large onion sliced
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Juice of 1 lime

Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced chicken, bell peppers, onion, and minced garlic.
- Drizzle the mixture with olive oil, ensuring all ingredients are evenly coated.
- Sprinkle chili powder, paprika, ground cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper over the chicken and vegetables. Toss everything together until well mixed.
- Lay out the aluminum foil sheets and evenly divide the chicken and vegetable mixture among them.
- Squeeze lime juice over each portion and fold the foil over the ingredients, sealing the edges to form a packet.
- Place the foil packets on a grill over the campfire or on a camping stove, cooking for about 15-20 minutes, turning halfway through the cooking time.
