Foil Pack Chicken Fajita Dinner Recipe Tips:

  • Heavy Duty Foil – Make sure to use heavy duty foil so that it doesn’t break when making this recipe. 
  • Cutting Vegetables – We like to slice the peppers and onions about the same size so they cook evenly.
  • Slice Chicken – Slice the chicken breast into strips to easily fit into the foil packets.
  • Cooking Time – Cooking time will vary based on your grill.
  • Opening Packet – Make sure to carefully open packet as the steam will extremely warm when opening.
  • Serving – Serve these chicken fajitas with your favorite rice, black beans salad, or to wrap in a flour tortilla.
  • Prepare Grill – Preheat your grill to medium high heat for best results.

  • Change Meat – You can easily make steak fajitas with this recipe. Change the chicken to chicken thighs or chicken tenders.
