Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 2-3 chicken breasts roughly 1 1/2 - 2 lbs, diced
- 1 1/2 tsp seasoned salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 3 cups cooked & cooled white rice preferably either basmati or jasmine
- 4 cups fresh broccoli florets
- 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup chopped, crisp cooked bacon
Instructions
- Add the seasonings and chicken to a mixing bowl. Toss until the chicken's coated.
- Lay six 12x12" pieces of foil out on a clean counter top. Equally divide the rice in between them, placing a scoop in the center of each.
- Divide the chicken among the foil, adding it directly on top of the rice, followed by the broccoli.
- Spread the mixture out just a bit so it's somewhat flatter, but still centered. Top with cheese, followed by the bacon.
- Lift up the sides of the foil until they all meet in the center, and roll (or fold) to close- but leave a tiny hold open in the center for steam to escape. Repeat until all foil packets are closed, then transfer them to a large rimmed baking sheet.
- Bake at 375° for 25 minutes.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven, and let it rest undisturbed for a full 10 minutes. Open the packets, but be careful to avoid the hot steam that escapes.
- Serve & enjoy!
Notes
