Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Lay out four large pieces of foil and lightly coat with cooking spray.
Place a chicken breast in the center of each piece and season with chili powder, salt, and pepper.
Evenly distribute black beans, corn, bell peppers, and salsa over the chicken.
Fold the foil tightly to create sealed packets.
