Air Fryer Mexican Chicken Foil Packet -- Yummy! How about some Mexican Chicken made in a foil packet right inside your air fryer? This flavorful chicken is prepared with Cajun chicken seasoning, corn, salsa, and black beans. This main dish is great for those on a low-fat diet too! This quick and easy meal is perfect for weeknights or those hot Summer days when you don’t want to grill outside or turn on the oven!

Ingredients 

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breast
  • 1/4 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup black beans
  • 1 cup corn kernels
  • 1/2 cup bell peppers, diced
  • 1/2 cup salsa
  • 1/4 cup Mexican Cheese, shredded

Optional Garnishes: Salsa, Shredded cheese, Sour Cream, Diced Tomatoes, Cilantro and diced jalapenos

    Instructions

    • Tear off a piece of foil that is large enough to wrap around the chicken breast you are going to use. 
    • Place the chicken breast down on the piece of foil. 
    • Generously season the breast with kosher salt, black pepper, and chili powder. 
    • Place ½ cup of the black beans, ½ cup of the canned corn, and ½ cup of salsa on top of the chicken. 
    • Wrap the chicken up in the foil and place it either in the air fryer basket or in an air fryer-safe pan. 
    • Set the temperature to 370 degrees F for 7 minutes. After 7 minutes flip your package. Be careful because some juice will come out and it will be VERY HOT. Then air fry for another 7 minutes
    • Once the chicken has reached an internal 165 degrees, plate, serve, and enjoy! 
    • Check your chicken when it’s done air frying with a meat thermometer to ensure it’s fully cooked. Remove from the package.  To serve, add the chicken to a plate of rice and top with some shredded cheese, and sliced jalapenos. 
    • Plate, serve, and enjoy!
