Squeeze lime juice over the chicken.

Sprinkle half of the seasoning on chicken. Set aside.

In a large bowl, combine the chopped peppers, and onions, and the drained black beans. Sprinkle and toss with the remaining seasoning. Set aside.

Tear off six (12- to 14-inch pieces of aluminum foil) or if using a foil pan, spray six tin foil pans (7 -inch) with nonstick cooking spray, place 1 cup of the seasoned vegetable mixture in the center of the foil or foil pan, and top with a 4 oz. seasoned chicken. 

Sprinkle the chicken breasts with more paprika, if needed.

These Easy Chicken Fajita Foil Dinners can be cooked in the oven, on the grill, or over a campfire!

If cooking on the grill, place the foil pans uncovered or foil packets vegetable side down, close the lid on the grill and cook for 5 minutes, then turn to the seam side down and cook for 20 more minutes or until chicken is cooked through.

Let the foil pan or packets rest for 5 minutes before serving.
