How to Make Corn And Salsa Chicken Packets

  1. Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C).
  2. Tear off four large sheets of heavy-duty aluminum foil.
  3. Place one 6-ounce chicken breast in the center of each foil sheet.
  4. Top each chicken breast with 1/2 cup of corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned).
  5. Evenly distribute 1/4 cup of your favorite salsa over the chicken and corn in each packet.
  6. Season chicken with salt and pepper to taste. Add other spices as desired (e.g., chili powder, cumin).
  7. Bring up the sides of the foil and fold over twice to create a sealed packet. Double fold the ends to ensure no juices escape.
  8. Place the packets on a baking sheet.
  9. Bake for 26-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  10. Carefully remove the packets from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes before opening.
  11. Open the packets carefully (to avoid steam burns) and serve immediately. Sprinkle with shredded cheese (optional).
  12. Enjoy!
