Foil-Pack Taco Chicken Dinner

4 small boneless skinless chicken breasts halves
4 tsp. taco seasoning
2 cups thinly sliced peeled potatoes
1/2 cup Monterey Jack  cheese
1/2 cup cheddar cheese (mix cheeses together)
1/2 cup of your favorite Salsa (I love Arriba)
1/4 cup sour cream

1.  Preheat oven to 400 degrees.  Sprinkle chicken evenly with seasoning mix.  Place 1/2 cup of the potatoes on center of each of four large sheets of heavy-duty foil, season with salt and pepper; top each with 1 chicken breast, 1/4 cup of the cheese mixture and 2 Tbs. of the salsa.
2.  Bring up foil sides.  Double fold top and both ends to seal each packet, leaving room for heat circulation inside.  Place in single layer in 15x10x1 bakin pan.
3.  Bake 30-35 minutes or until chicken is cooked through and potatoes are tender.  Remove packets from oven.  Let stand 5 minutes.  Place one packet on each of four dinner plates.  Cut slits in foil with sharp knife to release steam before opening.  Top each serving with sour cream.

This recipe did not sound exceptionally good when I read it, but it just looked so easy and quick to put together.  But it was surprising good for such little effort!
