This taco chicken dinner is made to taste like the recipe I received in an email from a popular name brand website. A very quick and easy meal for those busy weekends. Also included in the Zaar World Tour 2005, Mexico.

SERVES 4 , 4 packet (change servings and units)

Ingredients

4 small boneless skinless chicken breast halves (1 lb.)
4 teaspoons taco seasoning mix, Taco Bell Home Originals
2 cups potatoes, thinly sliced peeled
1 cup cheese, Shredded Kraft Mexican Style
1/2 cup salsa, Taco Bell Home Originals Garden
1/4 cup sour cream, Breakstone or Knudsen

Directions

1
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Sprinkle taco seasoning mix evenly over chicken, set aside. Using four large sheets of aluminum foil; place 1/2 cup of potatoes on center of each sheet. Layer one chicken breast, 1/4 cup of cheese and 2 tablespoons of salsa on each pile of potatoes.
2
Bring up sides of foil. Double fold top and ends to seal each packet, leaving room for heat to circulate inside. Place each packet, in single layer, on a 15x10x1-inch baking pan.
3
Bake for approximately 25 minutes or until chicken is cooked through, no pink juices, and potatoes are fork tender. Remove the packets from oven and let stand for 5 minutes.
4
Using a sharp knife, cut slits in each foil packet to release steam before opening. To serve, place one packet on each of 4 plates and top with sour cream.

This was nice and easy, though I thought it needed something but couldn't put my finger on what. I do think if I make this again I would use thighs not breasts and add the cheese after cooking instead of before. I cut a packet open after cooking and found the chicken to still be a bit pink, so turned off the oven & stuck the pan back in for 10 minutes - the chicken was perfectly done after the additional time. Also, I used jack cheese and homemade Taco Seasoning. Thanks for the recipe!

I found this recipe in a Kraft Food and Family magazine. It was quick and simple to make, and made for easy clean-up! It was great with some fresh diced veggies added on top after it came out of the oven (green onion, green pepper). I used about half as much cheese and salsa, and it was plenty flavorful for us. Thanks for posting this tasty, easy recipe!

We liked this a lot. The chicken was extremely tender and juicy. The only thing I did differently was to use spray butter on the potatoes and zucchini slices, then season with salt and pepper before topping with the chicken. I forgot the dollop of sour cream but will definately use it the next time.

This was an excellent dish. I think next time we will add corn to the mix for an extra vegetable and some sliced olives to top it off with at tht end when you put the sour cream on.
