Ingredients

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
  • 1 red bell pepper sliced
  • 1 small red onion sliced
  • 1 14 ounce can black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 2 cups frozen corn
  • 2 teaspoons chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 cup shredded Colby Jack Cheese
  • Chopped fresh cilantro for topping

Instructions

  • Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
  • Cut four large pieces of aluminum foil, which will be large enough to wrap the chicken and vegetables completely.
  • Place each chicken breast in the middle of each of the foil pieces, and surround with ¼ of the sliced bell pepper, ¼ of the onion, ~¼ cup of black beans, and ½ cup of frozen corn.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together chili powder, cumin, and garlic powder.
  • Sprinkle each packet the spice mixture, salt, and pepper, and drizzle with olive oil.
  • Place the packets on the preheated grill and cook for 25-30 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through to 165 degrees F. During the last approximately 5 minutes of cooking time, open each packet and sprinkle with ¼ cup of cheese. Cover and continue the remainder of the cooking time.
  • Serve topped with chopped cilantro and enjoy!
