The Texas Foil Wrapped Chicken Thighs #RSC recipe is a delicious and easy way to make flavorful chicken at home. This recipe is perfect for a quick weeknight dinner, or for entertaining guests outdoors on the grill. The chicken is wrapped in foil, which ensures that it stays moist and succulent, while the bacon adds a crispy and savory texture to the dish. The jalapenos and lime give the dish a spicy and citrusy kick, while the cilantro and monterey jack cheese round out the flavors. This dish is also highly customizable, with optional jalapenos and seasonings, so it can be tailored to your specific tastes.

Instructions

1.Preheat your grill or oven to 375-400 degrees.
2.Lay out four sheets of Reynolds Wrap foil, and place one chicken thigh on each sheet.
3.Using tongs, wrap each chicken thigh with a slice of bacon, being sure to tuck the ends under the chicken so they don’t fall off.
4.Slice one jalapeno into rounds, and place on top of each chicken thigh.
5.Zest two limes over the chicken thighs, then slice the remaining five limes into rounds and place them around the chicken.
6.Salt and pepper to taste, and sprinkle shredded monterey jack cheese and fresh cilantro leaves on top.
7.Wrap the chicken thighs tightly in the foil, making sure there are no holes or openings for any steam to escape.
8.Place the foil packets on the grill or in the oven and cook for 20-25 minutes, until the chicken is fully cooked and the bacon is crispy.
9.While the chicken is cooking, grill or char the corn on the cob over an open flame until fully cooked. Cut the kernels off the cob and set aside.
10.Heat the black beans until warm, then stir in the corn and chopped cilantro.
11.Once the chicken is done, remove from the grill or oven, and let cool for a few minutes.
12.Carefully open the foil packets, and serve each chicken thigh with a side of the corn and black bean mixture.
