Hi Shashank,
I can give you part of my packer file so that you can understand how things 
are working. I am using winrm as a communicator and chef-solo to execute 
hardening cookbooks.
{
    "variables": {
....
    },
 
    "builders": [
{
"type": "amazon-ebs",
"region": "{{user `aws_region`}}",
....
"communicator": "winrm",
"winrm_username": "{{user `winrm_username`}}",
"winrm_password": "{{user `winrm_password`}}",
"winrm_use_ssl": true,
"winrm_insecure": true,
....
}
],
 
    "provisioners": [
{
"type": "powershell",
"scripts": ["scripts/InstallAWSCli.ps1"],
....
},
{
"type": "powershell",
"inline": [
"setx AWS_DEFAULT_REGION \"{{user `aws_region`}}\" /M"]
},
{
"type": "powershell",
"scripts": ["scripts/InstallChefdk.ps1"],
....
},
{
"type": "powershell",
"script": "scripts/DownloadCookbooks.ps1",
....
},
{
"type": "chef-solo",
"guest_os_type": "windows",
"skip_install": true,
"execute_command": "c:/opscode/chefdk/bin/chef-solo.bat --chef-license 
accept --no-color -c {{.ConfigPath}} -j {{.JsonPath}}",
"remote_cookbook_paths": ["C:/chef-repo/cookbooks"],
"run_list": [
"CIS-Hardening"
]
},
{
"type": "windows-restart",
"timeout": "15m"
},
{
"type": "powershell",
"inline": [
"C:\\ProgramData\\Amazon\\EC2-Windows\\Launch\\Scripts\\InitializeInstance.ps1 
-Schedule",
"C:\\ProgramData\\Amazon\\EC2-Windows\\Launch\\Scripts\\SysprepInstance.ps1 
-NoShutdown"
]
}
    ],
"post-processors": [
{
"type": "manifest",
"output": "output/manifest-{{timestamp}}.json"
}
]
 
}

You can also share your packer so that I can get to know what things you 
are using.
