We all have those meals...the one's we fix weekly for our family. They're quick, easy, or yummy...or quick, easy, AND yummy and often requested by members of our family. Sometimes, though, we get tired of the same things every week, which is why I'm proposing a "recipe swap" of sorts. If you'd like to contribute to and benefit from "Go-To Grub!", please e-mail me your recipes, with "Go-To Grub" in the message line, as many or as few as you like; you might even have them in your sent box because someone has asked you for them in the past! This could potentially be a really great source of variety for our weekly meal plans, so please join the fun! E-mail them as soon as you have some free time so we can get this up and running.

Feel free to pass this along!

Foil-Pack Taco Chicken

This is a go-to meal in the kitchen of Katherine D.!

Prep time: 10 minutes
Total time: 50 minutes
Makes: 4 servings, one packet each

4 small boneless skinless chicken breast halves (1 lb.)
4 t taco seasoning mix
1/2 lb. red potatoes, thinly sliced (about 2 cups)
1/2 C thick 'n chunky salsa
3/4 C four cheese mexican style cheese
1/4 C sour cream

Preheat oven to 400. Sprinkle chicken with taco seasoning mix. Place 1/2 C of the potatoes on center of each of four large sheets of heavy-duty foil; top each with chicken, salsa and cheese.

Bring up foil sides. Double fold top and both ends to seal each packet, leaving room for heat circulation inside. Place in 15x10x1-inch baking pan.

Bake 30-35 minutes or until chicken is cooked through (165 degrees). Remove packets from oven. Let stand 5 minutes. Cut slits in foil to release steam before opening. Serve with sour cream.

Hint: to prevent potatoes from sticking to foil, spray foil with cooking spray or use nonstick foil.
