Foil-Pack Chicken Fajita Dinner

I love this concept and the flavor was awesome but the rice definitely did not cook quite right. I don't know exactly what happened. But I do know that these were fantastic leftovers when the rice had been able to sit for a while longer and was actually soft. If you want to be adventurous and try this recipe as written, go for it. Next time I make it I will cook the rice separately and then serve the ingredients of these foil packs on top of it.
