Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups minute rice
- 1 1/2 cups water
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts cut into thin strips
- 2-3 bell peppers sliced into thin strips
- 1 red onion sliced
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1 packet fajita seasoning
- 1 lime cut into wedges
- tin foil for wrapping
- Tortillas
FOR SERVING
- sour cream
- salsa
- guacamole
- cilantro
- hot sauce
- more limes if required
Instructions
- Preheat the grill on medium high
- Prep the tin foil pieces by tearing off 8 square pieces. You want them big enough to have plenty of envelope room inside, like mini ovens. Oversized is better than too small.
- Combine rice, water and 3 tbsp of the fajita seasoning in a small bowl, and set to the side for about 5 minutes.
- In a large bowl combine the chicken, peppers and onion. Drizzle with oil and the remaining seasoning and toss to coat evenly.
- Divide the rice into 4 potions, and place onto 4 of the tin foil squares. Divide and pour the remaining liquid from the rice bowl onto each rice pile.
- Top each rice pile with the chicken and vegetable mixture, evenly into 4 portions. Squirt some lime juice from a wedge onto each pile.
- Place the other 4 tin foil squares on top of each pile, folding all 4 edges over to seal tightly into sealed ovens.
- Place foil packets on the ready grill (which should be about 400 degrees) and cook for 7-9 minutes on each side.
- Serve and enjoy with your choice of toppings from the list.
Notes
- Add or omit ingredients in each packet based on individual tastes.
- Offer many options for sides, to suit everyone's tastes as well.
- To cook over a campfire: place in hot coals for about 20 minutes, or until chicken is cooked.
