Entrees: Foil-Pack Chicken Tacos
Look, Ma! No dishes!
4 small boneless skinless chicken breast halves (1 lb)
4 tsp taco seasoning mix
2 cups thinkly sliced peeled potatoes
1 cup Mexican style shredded cheese
1/2 cup salsa
1/4 cup sour cream
Preheat oven to 400F. Sprinkle chicken evenly with seasoning mix. Place 1/2 cup of potatoes on center of each of four large sheets of heavy-duty foil; top each with 1 chicken breast, 1/4 cup of the cheese and 2 Tbsp of salsa.
Bring up foil sides. Double fold top and both ends to seal each packet, leaving room for heat circulation inside. Place in single layer in 15x10x1 baking pan.
Bake 30 to 35 minutes or until chicken is cooked through (170F) and potatoes are tender. Remove packets from oven. Let stand 5 minutes. Place one packet on each of four dinner plates. Cut slits in foil with sharp knife to release steam before opening. Top each serving with 1 Tbsp of sour cream.
For added color and texture, serve with a tossed mixed green salad.
