Foil-Pack Chicken Fajita Dinner

I actually found this recipe on the Kraft website and changed it slightly. And it turned out great! I reheated a leftover foil-pack (took out of foil, put on a plate!) at work the next day and it was honestly even better than the night before. I don't know if it's the foil or what, but the chicken turns out very nice and tender.

Yield:  4 servings
1-1/2 cups instant rice, uncooked
1-1/2 cups hot water
2 Tbs taco seasoning mix (I make my own, will post recipe asap!)
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 1 lb total)
1-2 green and red peppers, cut into strips
1/2 cup salsa
1 cup Sharp Cheddar Cheese, shredded
  Directions:
  1. Heat oven to 400 degrees.
  2. Lay out 4 large sheets of foil and spray with cooking spray.
  3. Season chicken with 1 Tbs taco seasoning, on both sides.
  4. Combine rice, hot water and the other 1 Tbs taco seasoning. Spoon equal amounts of rice mixture onto center of each piece of foil. Top the rice with the chicken and remaining ingredients.
  5. Bring up sides of foil and fold top and ends together a few times to seal each packet.
  6. Place on a baking sheet and bake for 40 minutes or until chicken is done. Let stand 5-10 minutes before serving.
  7. Serve with sour cream (or not!).
