Hi...
I made these packets for dinner this past Thursday...our sons come over every Thursday for dinner and some family time! These packets were a real hit...very tasty! My hubby and I cookout every Friday evening and often have packet meals..this is another we could add to the list! This recipe called for baking in the oven, but I am sure it would be just fine on the grill!
Enjoy!

Foil Pack Taco Dinner (healthy)
From: Kraft Canada (2/22/2013)
Makes 4 servings, 8 ozs (232 g) each
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 45 minutes
Nutritional Profile: Diabetes appropriate, Low calorie, Low fat, Low cholesterol, Low sodium, Low carbohydrate, Heart healthy, Healthy weight
Ingredients:
4 small boneless, skinless chicken breasts, 1 lb (455 g) total weight
4 teaspoons taco seasoning mix
1/2 lb (225 g) red potatoes (about 2), peeled & thinly sliced
1 cup Kraft® Tex Mex Shredded Cheese
1/2 cup salsa
1/4 cup sour cream
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 400ºF.
2. Sprinkle the chicken with the taco seasoning mix. Place 1/4 of the potatoes on the centre of each of 4 large sheets of heavy-duty foil wrap. Top the potatoes with a piece of chicken, followed with 1/4 each of the cheese & salsa.
3. Fold the foil wrap around each portion to make 4 packets, leaving room for heat circulation inside. Place the 4 packets on a baking sheet.
4. Bake in the preheated 400ºF oven for 30 to 35 minutes or until the chicken is done (when inserting an instant-read thermometer into the thickest part of the chicken registers 170ºF).
5. Allow the chicken packets to cool for 5 minutes. Then, cut slits in the foil to release the steam before opening the packets. Top each serving with sour cream.
KRAFT KITCHEN TIPS:
EASY CLEANUP: Because the cooking is done in the foil packets, there's little to clean up.
MAKE AHEAD TIP: Assemble the packets as directed. Refrigerate for up to 4 hours, then bake as directed above, increasing the baking time to 40 minutes.
NOTE: To prevent the potatoes from sticking to the foil, spray the foil with cooking spray before using. Or use non-stick foil wrap.
