- 4 chicken breasts (6-7 oz. each)
- ½ t. chili powder
- salt & pepper to taste
- 15 oz. black beans drained & rinsed
- 2 c. frozen corn, thawed
- 1 c. diced bell peppers, any color(s)

- 1 c. Mexican cheese or Monterey jack, shredded (more if desired)
- 1 jalapeno pepper, diced small
Garnish
- diced tomatoes & additional cilantro for garnish, optional
Instructions
Place four large pieces of heavy duty foil on work surface and spray each with cooking spray.
Place 1 chicken breast on each piece of foil and season with chili powder, salt & pepper.
Divide black beans, corn, peppers and salsa over top of chicken breasts. Sprinkle with fresh cilantro.
Fold in the ends to seal each packet. Place packets on the grill, vegetable side down for 10 minutes.
Flip packets over and grill an additional 10-12 minutes or until chicken is cooked through and reaches 165 degrees.
Carefully open packets and top with cheese and diced jalapeno peppers. Close the grill just to melt the cheese (about 5 minutes).
Garnish with diced tomatoes and additional cilantro, if desired.
Serves 4
NOTE: You can also slice up the chicken and serve these with corn or flour tortillas.
