How to cook deliciously - Santa Fe Chicken Foil Packets

1. Stage

Prepare a grill for medium-high heat; preheat 5 minutes. In a medium bowl, combine rice, broth, chili powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Let sit at least 5 minutes or up to 15, until liquid is mostly absorbed.

2. Stage

Season chicken with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Arrange 4 (16"-by-12") pieces of foil on a work surface. Pull up sides to form into a shallow boat. Drizzle centers with oil. Divide rice mixture and any residual liquid among foil packets (about a heaping 1/2 cup each). Sprinkle beans, bell pepper, and corn over. Nestle 1 chicken breast into each foil packet and top with salsa and cheese. Tightly fold foil packets to seal.

3. Stage

Grill, covered and rotating packets halfway through, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part of chicken registers 165º, 15 to 18 minutes.

4. Stage

Carefully open foil packets. Top with cilantro and serve with lime wedges alongside.
