A delightful and easy-to-make dish featuring tender chicken, cheesy potatoes, and a burst of flavor in every bite.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and optimal results.
Spray large sheets of aluminum foil with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Using cooking spray helps in easy cleanup and prevents food from sticking.
Place one potato, thinly sliced, in the center of each foil sheet.
Thinly slicing the potatoes ensures they cook evenly and quickly.
Sprinkle taco seasoning over the chicken breasts and place one on top of the potatoes in each foil packet.
Seasoning the chicken beforehand enhances its flavor.
Top each chicken breast with a generous spoonful of salsa and a sprinkle of shredded cheese.
Adding cheese at this stage allows it to melt perfectly during cooking.
Fold the foil over the ingredients, sealing the edges tightly to form a packet.
Ensure the packets are sealed well to trap steam and cook the ingredients thoroughly.
Place the foil packets on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes.
Check one packet for doneness before removing all from the oven.
Carefully open the packets, allowing steam to escape, and serve with a dollop of sour cream.
Letting the packets rest for a few minutes before opening helps the flavors meld together.
