Overall had good flavor. I was pleased with how easy and inexpensive it was. My roommate did comment that the chicken itself lacked flavor. But, I made it, and I liked it!

Super easy from prep to clean up!!! Hubby loved it. Seasoned the chicken with Adobe and used yellow and orange peppers along with red and green...Will definitely be making this one again!

My husband & I love this recipe! We did make a few additions such as marinating the chicken in fajita seasoning mix for a few hours. It really gives it extra flavor. Add in some onions. Lastly, instead of plain white or brown rice, we use mexican flavored rice & just don't add the taco seasoning to the rice since it already flavored. Yummy!

I love these foil pack recipe's such a quick and easy way to make diner. I prepare it the night before while the baby is sleeping then stick in the fridge. That way all I have to do is pop it in the oven 35mins before hubby comes home. For this particular foil pack diner I used yellow and red peppers. I also used brown rice instead of white. Finally, I did picante sauce instead of salsa. Very yummy, and my hubby loves it too.

Very good! Tastes like a fajita without the tortilla.Took longer to cook than recipe stated, but worth it.

Very simple and good. I only used green bell peppers since I had no red ones, but I added sliced onion for more flavor. Will definitly make this again soon.
