Ingredients

  • 1 pound thinly sliced boneless skinless chicken breasts about 2 whole breasts
  • 1 cup sliced yellow, red, or orange bell pepper about 1 whole pepper
  • 1 cup sliced green bell pepper about 1 whole pepper
  • ½½ cup thinly sliced red onion about ½ an onion
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 2 teaspoons chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon onion powder
  • ¼ teaspoon paprika
  • 6-8 flour fajita tortillas

Instructions

  • Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
  • Place 1 pound thinly sliced boneless skinless chicken breasts, 1 cup sliced yellow, red, or orange bell pepper, 1 cup sliced green bell pepper, ½½ cup thinly sliced red onion, 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, 2 teaspoons chili powder, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, ¾ teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper, ¼ teaspoon onion powder, and ¼ teaspoon paprika in a large bowl and toss until evenly combined.
  • Make the foil packets by layering 2 sheets of aluminum foil, spraying the top layer lightly with nonstick cooking spray. Repeat until you have four sets of foil.
  • Divide the chicken mixture evenly between the 4 sets of foil. Fold over the tops and tightly fold up the sides to contain the fajita mixture inside.
  • Place the packets on the grill directly over the heat and cook for 12-15 minutes, until the chicken is completely cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Serve the packets with 6-8 flour fajita tortillas and your desired toppings on the side.
