Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
Cut four large pieces of aluminum foil; spray them with cooking spray. Place a chicken breast in the center each piece of foil; season with chili powder, salt and pepper.
Evenly divide beans, corn, peppers and salsa/tomatoes over tops of chicken breasts. Fold in the ends to seal each packet. Place packets on hot grill, vegetable side down for 10 minutes. Flip packets over; grill another 10-12 minutes or until chicken is cooked through and reaches 165 degrees.
Place packets on a large baking pan. Carefully open packets; top with cheese. Place the pan back on the grill until the cheese is melted.
Serve with chosen garnishes alone or in tortillas.
* The chicken packets could be baked in a 375°F oven for 30 minutes or longer depending on the size of the chicken breasts.
